European Harmonization Of Data Protection Laws Threatens U.S. Participation In Trans Border Data Flow, George B. Trubow Jan 1992

European Harmonization Of Data Protection Laws Threatens U.S. Participation In Trans Border Data Flow, George B. Trubow

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

We are in the midst of "Europe '92," the year when the European Community (EC) is to take on new shape and substance as it seeks transformation to economic and political strategies intended to enhance its position in international trade and commerce. With respect to matters of information processing and transborder data flow, the Council of Europe has prepared a draft directive concerning privacy and security regarding personal information (Privacy Directive). That draft, under consideration by the member states, is of great importance to the rest of the world since it contemplates that EC members will not exchange information with …


Defining International Electronic Commerce, Jeffrey B. Ritter Jan 1992

Defining International Electronic Commerce, Jeffrey B. Ritter

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Electronic commerce has become a practical reality for thousands of businesses throughout the world. By combining the functional capabilities of computers and telecommunication systems, companies can now exchange information electronically rather than sending and receiving paper documents. In so doing, businesses are achieving remarkable and unparalleled improvements in the accuracy, speed and efficiency with which commercial transactions may be negotiated, confirmed and performed. By eliminating reliance upon paper as the medium through which commerce occurs, new and radically different approaches are emerging regarding how commercial relationships are defined and maintained. Used for international business transactions, the technologies of electronic commerce …


Electronic Data Interchange Agreements: Private Contracting Toward A Global Environment, Amelia H. Boss Jan 1992

Electronic Data Interchange Agreements: Private Contracting Toward A Global Environment, Amelia H. Boss

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

With the growth in the use of electronic communications technologies to communicate important business and trade information, the size of the earth, although it may remain at the present 7,900 miles in diameter, is rapidly shrinking. In a matter of seconds, commercial trade data can be exchanged between parties thousands of miles apart, leading to the establishment of new business relationships. In the emerging new global economy, data, information, goods, and services are being exchanged internationally. No longer are parties to a commercial transaction bound by artificial national boundaries with their accompanying sets of domestic legal rules. Over the past …


Telecommunications Regulatory Implications For International Edi Transactions, Aileen A. Pisciotta, James H. Barker Jan 1992

Telecommunications Regulatory Implications For International Edi Transactions, Aileen A. Pisciotta, James H. Barker

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This article provides a general introduction to various telecommunications regulatory issues that should be included in the "calculus" of domestic and international EDI transactions. Part II places EDI generally within the broader context of telecommunications "value added" services, introducing the operational relationship between EDI and telecommunications networks, and the manner in which EDI services may be influenced by global telecommunications regulatory schemes. Particular emphasis is placed upon the United States as a "case study," in order to provide a familiar baseline from which to touch upon broader issues attending the international provision of EDI and other value added services.


Proprietary Aspects Of Commercial Remote-Sensing Imagery, Patrick A. Salin Jan 1992

Proprietary Aspects Of Commercial Remote-Sensing Imagery, Patrick A. Salin

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This remote-sensing imagery copyright issue will be addressed in two parts: First, the specific aspects of remote-sensing imagery will be assessed in terms of international protection as compared to other space activities having a literary or intellectual content, with a direct and immediate commercial impact. Second, the specific copyright provisions of several bilateral agreements will be scrutinized in a comparative approach and the merits of each of them will be assessed against those of the others. The terms "pictures" and "signals" will be used indistinc- tively in order to identify the same physical elements, i.e. the bits or information elements …


Toward An International Standard Of Scientific Inquiry, George P. Smith Ii Jan 1992

Toward An International Standard Of Scientific Inquiry, George P. Smith Ii

Scholarly Articles

The late Professor Thomas Emerson, a great civil libertarian, cautioned in 1976 that one of the hard problems of the First Amendment would soon be acknowledged as the extent to which the state could recognize scientific research. As he observed sagely, "It is hard to predict where these issues will lead." This essay will explore the pathway where these issues are leading in contemporary society.


Patent Rights In The Human Genome Project, Rebecca S. Eisenberg Jan 1992

Patent Rights In The Human Genome Project, Rebecca S. Eisenberg

Book Chapters

The various research efforts that comprise the Human Genome Project will inevitably both draw on and yield a multitude of patentable inventions. The broad subject matter of the patent laws potentially reaches every phase of the Genome Project, from the discovery of new research technologies, such as techniques and equipment for DNA sequencing, through the ultimate development of new products, such as screening tests for genetically transmitted diseases. Even bits and pieces of the human genome itself may be, and sometimes have been, patented.' Nor does the fact that the public is paying for the Genome Project through federal funding …


International Regulation And Control Of The Production And Use Of Chemicals And Pesticides: Perspectives For A Convention, Hans-Wolfgang Micklitz Jan 1992

International Regulation And Control Of The Production And Use Of Chemicals And Pesticides: Perspectives For A Convention, Hans-Wolfgang Micklitz

Michigan Journal of International Law

A wide variety of instruments and mechanisms for the regulation and control of chemicals and pesticides is already available internationally. What is missing is an analysis that attempts to systematize the different approaches, to create transparency, to define where they overlap, and to discover prospective deficiencies and shortcomings. In order to accomplish this task, this article covers legally binding rules as well as recommendations and codes - the international soft law. The overall purpose is to outline a framework for future international regulation of chemicals and pesticides and to propose an international convention as a possible solution.


Above All, Do No Harm: The Application Of The Exon-Florio Amendment To Dual-Use Technologies, Gerald T. Nowak Jan 1992

Above All, Do No Harm: The Application Of The Exon-Florio Amendment To Dual-Use Technologies, Gerald T. Nowak

Michigan Journal of International Law

In support of this proposition, this Note will first examine the legislative history and executive enforcement of the Exon-Florio Amendment, followed by a discussion of the goals of Exon-Florio and the applicability of Exon-Florio to dual-use technologies. Then, after an examination of the attitudes and experience of the European Community with regards to such protectionism, specifically in France and the United Kingdom, this Note will argue that vigorous enforcement of the Exon-Florio Amendment, and a fortiori passage of the Technology Preservation Act, is likely to result in less, not more, domestic production of dual-use technologies. As a matter of defense …

Criminal Liability For Misconduct In Scientific Research, Susan M. Kuzma Jan 1992

Criminal Liability For Misconduct In Scientific Research, Susan M. Kuzma

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Article will explore our society's attitude to prosecuting scientific misconduct, the need to consider prosecution in such cases, and the utility of current statutes available for prosecution. To assist the reader in understanding the issues, this Article will provide some background information about misconduct in scientific research and will include a discussion of some specific incidents. These background materials provide a context for my argument that criminal sanctions should be available to punish scientific misconduct. Finally, I propose a federal criminal statute designed specifically for prosecuting scientific misconduct.

Proof In Law And Science, David H. Kaye Jan 1992

Proof In Law And Science, David H. Kaye

Faculty Scholarship

This article addresses proof in both science and law. Both disciplines utilize proof of facts and proof of theories, but for different purposes and, consequently, in different ways. Some similarities exist, however, in how both disciplines use a series of premises followed by a conclusion to form an argument, and thus constitute a logic. This article analyzes the ways in which legal logic and scientific logic differ. Finding facts in law involves the same logic but quite different procedures than scientific fact-finding. Finding, or rather constructing, the law is also very different from scientific theorizing. But such differences do not …

Policy And Legal Aspects Of Technology Transfer From The United States To China, Yongman Zhang Jan 1992

Policy And Legal Aspects Of Technology Transfer From The United States To China, Yongman Zhang

LLM Theses and Essays

One of the major international transactions today is the transfer of technology between nations. Because the U.S. and China are on opposite ends of the technology spectrum, one an advanced technological nation and the other technologically backward, they make excellent trading partners of technology. China’s history of self-reliance and its modern Open Door policy to realize its Four Modernizations are reviewed. This policy of openness is the key to the modernization of China’s economy through the importing of foreign technology. Likewise, the evolution of U.S. policy toward trade with China is analyzed. The U.S. has moved from a policy of …


It Walks Like A Duck, Talks Like A Duck, . . . But Is It A Duck? Making Sense Of Substantial Similarity Law As It Applies To User Interfaces , Ellen M. Bierman Jan 1992

It Walks Like A Duck, Talks Like A Duck, . . . But Is It A Duck? Making Sense Of Substantial Similarity Law As It Applies To User Interfaces , Ellen M. Bierman

Seattle University Law Review

This Comment recommends how courts should apply the substantial similarity analysis to user interfaces. Specifically, this Comment (1) delineates the state of the law in the Ninth Circuit and explains how the recent changes should be interpreted with respect to user interfaces; (2) establishes an analytic framework for evaluating proposed substantial similarity tests through the enumeration of a set of goals specific to user interfaces; and (3) uses this analytic framework to evaluate and endorse a test that applies traditional copyright doctrine to a logical and consistent manner.

La Preuve, Les Techniques Modernes Et Le Respect Des Valeurs Fondamentales, Wafe Maclauchlan May 1991

La Preuve, Les Techniques Modernes Et Le Respect Des Valeurs Fondamentales, Wafe Maclauchlan

Dalhousie Law Journal

In La preuve, les techniques modernes et le respect des valeurs fondamentales, Professor Pierre Patenaude has produced a scholarly and practical inquiry into the question of how law responds to science. This book raises questions of the gathering, the admissibility and the reliability of evidence through modem techniques such as electronic surveillance, breathalyzer tests, lie detectors, radar, the administration of truthinducing drugs, and hypnosis. It combines a thoughtful examination of values underlying the law of evidence with an introduction to the complexities and the frailities of scientific investigative techniques.
