Commentary: The International Intellectual Property Order Enters The 21st Century, Frederick M. Abbott Jan 1996

Commentary: The International Intellectual Property Order Enters The 21st Century, Frederick M. Abbott

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

This Commentary followed presentation of the first two articles in this volume at a meeting on the TRIPS Agreement. The commentator first reflects on the theme of Professor Oddi's article, and suggests that the TRIPS Agreement must be evaluated in the broad context of the Uruguay Round bargain. He observes that the potential economic impact of the TRIPS Agreement on global economic development is of central concern, and that much work remains to be done both in refining economic analysis of the Agreement, and in addressing developmental issues. The commentator then discusses renewed interest in the activities of WIPO, and …

Berne-Ing The Soviet Copyright Codes: Will The U.S.S.R. Alter Its Copyright Laws To Comply With The Berne Convention?, William Scott Goldman Jan 1990

Berne-Ing The Soviet Copyright Codes: Will The U.S.S.R. Alter Its Copyright Laws To Comply With The Berne Convention?, William Scott Goldman

Penn State International Law Review

What changes need to be made in the Soviet copyright codes in order to bring them into compliance with the provisions of Berne? And is it likely that these changes will be accomplished in the near future? This comment will attempt to answer these questions. While these issues have already been addressed in regard to the United States, nothing similar has yet been attempted for the Soviet Union. In light of the U.S.S.R.'s announcement of its intent to accede to the Berne Convention, this analysis is now more timely than ever.

Copyright Protection For Data Obtained By Remote Sensing: How The Data Enhancement Industry Will Ensure Access For Developing Countries, J. Richard West Jan 1990

Copyright Protection For Data Obtained By Remote Sensing: How The Data Enhancement Industry Will Ensure Access For Developing Countries, J. Richard West

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The use of remote sensing of the earth by satellite has grown tremendously since the United States launched the first such satellite, Landsat 1, in 1972. In 1984, the Land Remote Sensing Commercialization Act began the gradual transfer of the United States Landsat program to the private sector. The Earth Observation Satellite Company (EOSAT) is the private operator licensed pursuant to the Act, and is preparing to launch the first privately-operated remote sensing satellite, Landsat 6, in 1991. The Commercialization Act requires operators to make raw data available to all users on a nondiscriminatory basis, but it does not preclude …

Intellectual Property Rights: The Issues In Gatt, David Hartridge, Arvind Subramanian Jan 1989

Intellectual Property Rights: The Issues In Gatt, David Hartridge, Arvind Subramanian

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

This Article examines the need for a multilateral framework to address the trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights (TRIPs). The authors trace the growing importance of TRIPs from its emergence at the Tokyo Round in 1978 to its present state as a major focus of multilateral negotiations at the Uruguay Round. A detailed discussion of existing GATT provisions and their relevance to intellectual property rights follows. The authors then describe the four major substantive issues related to TRIPs that are before the Negotiating Group: substantive standards of intellectual property protection; procedures for the enforcement of intellectual property protection; dispute settlement …

Sovereign Immunity: The Exception For Intellectual Or Industrial Property, Virginia Morris Jan 1986

Sovereign Immunity: The Exception For Intellectual Or Industrial Property, Virginia Morris

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The doctrine of sovereign or state immunity exempts a state and its property from the judicial jurisdiction of any other state. The domestic courts of various nations have developed this doctrine over the years through cases in which private citizens have attempted to sue foreign states. Courts' enunciations of the principle of state immunity and their reasons for granting or denying the immunity are almost as numerous as the countries whose courts have faced this issue. The current work of the International Law Commission (the Commission) on the codification and the progressive development of the jurisdictional immunities of states and …

The European Patent System, Friedrich - Karl Beier Jan 1981

The European Patent System, Friedrich - Karl Beier

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The formation of the European patent system, which I have presented here only in part and which is still missing one essential element, the Common Market patent, constitutes a milestone in the development of international patent law. No event since the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property in 1883 has so drastically changed the system of protection of inventions as the European patent system will. I do not except the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) signed in Washington in 1970 and entered into force over two years ago. It certainly overcomes the territorial approach of the Paris Convention in …
