Louboutins And Legal Loopholes: Aesthetic Functionality And Fashion, Margot E. Parmenter
Louboutins And Legal Loopholes: Aesthetic Functionality And Fashion, Margot E. Parmenter
Pepperdine Law Review
Christian Louboutin redefined high-fashion footwear with his signature red sole. The shoes with the red soles have inspired pop music singles, museum retrospectives, and even articles in the New Yorker. Fashionistas around the world buy Louboutin’s shoes in droves, despite their prohibitory pricing. And so it came as no surprise when Louboutin took the equally famous and fashionable designer Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) to court in August of 2011 for stealing his look; after all, such a lucrative feature certainly required a level of jealous protection, and everyone who was anyone (in the world of haute couture footwear at least) …

Diamond V. Chakrabarty: Oil Eaters: Alive And Patentable, Dennis J. Walsh
Diamond V. Chakrabarty: Oil Eaters: Alive And Patentable, Dennis J. Walsh
Pepperdine Law Review
Congress is empowered, under article I, section 8 of the United States Constitution, to create patent laws that encourage the promotion of arts and sciences. In the congressional fulfillment of this task, the courts have been confused as to what products are worthy of patent protection under the patent statutes. One illustration of this confusion is the recent controversy of whether living organisms fit into the statutory patentable classification of section 101 of the 1952 Patent Act. The recent United States Supreme Court decision of Diamond v. Chakrabarty has ended this confusion by holding that living micro bacteria is patentable …

Droit De Suite: Only Congress Can Grant Royalty Protection For Artists, Lynn K. Warren
Droit De Suite: Only Congress Can Grant Royalty Protection For Artists, Lynn K. Warren
Pepperdine Law Review
Congress has enacted the 1976 Copyright Act which does not grant resale royalties to fine artists. It does, however, add a strong preemption provision that was not a part of the 1909 Act. This provision emphatically preempts any state law granting a right equivalent to a right granted by the federal statute to any work which is the subject matter of copyright. In its desire to increase protection for fine artists, the State of California has enacted the first droit de suite legislation in the United States, patterned after European copyright law, which extends resale royalties to fine artists. This …
