Letter To Bruce Ackerman, Wendy J. Gordon
Scholarship Chronologically
I shall be heading back to Rutgers for classes shortly, and I'm sending you a draft of the "Copyright and Copy-privilege" piece in the hope of receiving some additional comments before I enter into the final "polishing" stages later this month. As you know from my last note, the suggestions you made have proved extremely useful -- the title is the least of it. Among other things, your suggestions for reorganization led, indirectly, to a way of unifying the piece on copyright and contract with another piece I've been working on, regarding copyright and tort. I'm very pleased with the …

As I said in my last note, your suggestions for the "Copyright and Copy-privilege" paper have proven extremely valuable. (The title is the least of it.) The reorganization you suggested has allowed the paper to blossom, and I'm extremely pleased with the results.

Note On General Conclusion - 1986, Wendy J. Gordon
Note On General Conclusion - 1986, Wendy J. Gordon
Scholarship Chronologically
The burden of the first part of this paper has been to suggest that tort law provides us no self-justifying notion of "wrongs" by which we can allocate rights and duties. The burden of the second part of this paper has been to suggest that contract law's notion of "consent" is similarly unable to provide justification for any particular system of rights. How would one go about constructing a theory by which to evaluate whether a given property system could be justified? A full answer to that question is surely outside the scope of this paper, but some basic points …
Note On Re Article On Definition Of Tort/Property - 1986, Wendy J. Gordon
Note On Re Article On Definition Of Tort/Property - 1986, Wendy J. Gordon
Scholarship Chronologically
Some distinctions in the law are fairly clear. For example, we seem to think that bad actions deserve to be punished, actions which are not personally blameworthy should not be punished, and that injuries to innocent persons should be compensated. But there are many instances in which these two goals cannot be simultaneously served. There we partially separate them, placing each in its own primary area of law. For those instances in which a bad action occurs and no one is injured, the criminal law has a remedy (the law of attempts). For those instances in which an innocent party …

Copyright Protection For Architectural Works, David E. Shipley
Copyright Protection For Architectural Works, David E. Shipley
Scholarly Works
Architecture is the most commonly experienced and pervasive of all the arts. The creative efforts of architects culminate in structures used for shelter, pleasure, business, entertainment, and transportation.1 Architects express their design concepts in sketches, elevations, floor plans, working drawings, specifications, renditions, and three-dimensional models. Their labors in shaping the ideas for a building from rough conceptions into plans and then into completed structures are similar to the efforts of other creators. An architect is as much an author as is a sculptor or a dramatist. His plans, renditions, and the resulting structure will ordinarily show originality and will reflect …

The Interpretation Of Means Expressions During Prosecution, R. Carl Moy
The Interpretation Of Means Expressions During Prosecution, R. Carl Moy
Faculty Scholarship
This article briefly explains how the scope of a claim including a means expression is determined both under the PTO view and a strict application of the statutory language. The lack of consensus and current state of the law in the area are illustrated through an analysis of several recent decisions of the Federal Circuit. The policies underlying the PTO and statutory methods of interpreting means expressions during prosecution are examined in an effort to demonstrate that the statutory method more effectively furthers the policies underlying the patent system.
Law And Fact In Patent Litigation: Form Versus Function, Thomas G. Field Jr
Law And Fact In Patent Litigation: Form Versus Function, Thomas G. Field Jr
Law Faculty Scholarship
Recently, the Supreme Court sent Dennison Mfg. v. Panduit Corp. back to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC). It remanded with explicit directions that the lower court consider the extent to which Rule 52(a) governs appellate review of determinations of obviousness.
It is by no means certain that obviousness determinations should be treated as questions of law. Nevertheless, there is ample evidence that courts seek to review findings of obviousness (or nonobviousness) more intensely than would be appropriate under the "clearly erroneous" or "substantial evidence" standards. If the courts are inclined to persist in more intense review …
Generic Competition And Pharmaceutical Innovation: The Drug Price Competition And Patent Term Restoration Act Of 1984, James J. Wheaton
Generic Competition And Pharmaceutical Innovation: The Drug Price Competition And Patent Term Restoration Act Of 1984, James J. Wheaton
Faculty Publications
This article critiques the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984. Part I traces the background of the two major sections of the Act by examining the recent trend toward generic competition in the pharmaceutical industry and the need perceived by some industry observers for additional incentives to pharmaceutical research. Part II of the article describes and discusses the sections of the Act designed to benefit the two segments of the pharmaceutical industry. Part III addresses the likely effect of the Act on generic competition, and Part IV provides a parallel analysis for the research-intensive pharmaceutical firms. …
Conflicts Between Copyright And The First Amendment After Harper & Row, Publishers V. Nation Enterprises, David E. Shipley
Conflicts Between Copyright And The First Amendment After Harper & Row, Publishers V. Nation Enterprises, David E. Shipley
Scholarly Works
The relationship between copyright and the first amendment has been discussed repeatedly in the past fifteen years. A free speech privilege has been asserted as a defense in many copyright infringement actions, and the topic has been the subject of lively academic debate. Although no court has held an infringement claim to be defeated by a first amendment defense, considerable attention has been paid to the potential conflict between copyright and free speech interests. Commentators have speculated that in some situations copyright protection could impermissibly abridge the first amendment. The United States Supreme Court's decision in Harper & Row, Publishers …
Motion Pictures In American And International Copyright Law, Christof Siefarth
Motion Pictures In American And International Copyright Law, Christof Siefarth
LLM Theses and Essays
This thesis intends to examine some problems of motion pictures in American and international copyright law. Motion pictures are one of the most fascinating forms of communication and entertainment. They are of enormous commercial significance and are probably the most complex works in the field of copyright law. The American motion picture industry is heavily influential throughout the world. Therefore, the subject of this work will be mainly the American copyright law. Solutions of other legal systems are treated when they provide interesting alternatives or similarities.
