A Cross-Atlantic Dialog On Experimental Use And Research Tools, Joshua Sarnoff, Henrik Holzapfel Aug 2007

A Cross-Atlantic Dialog On Experimental Use And Research Tools, Joshua Sarnoff, Henrik Holzapfel

College of Law Faculty

In Merck KGaA v. Integra LifeSciences I Ltd., the U.S. Supreme Court adopted a broad construction of the regulatory approval exception to patent law infringement, 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(1), for experiments conducted at early stages of the pharmaceutical development process. But the Court refused to determine whether that exception applies to patented “research tools,” and failed to address the relationship of that exception to the historic experimental use exception. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has narrowly construed the experimental use exception, but also refused in its recent decision on remand in Merck to resolve these questions, …

Bilcare, Ksr, Presumptions Of Validity, Preliminary Relief, And Obviousness In Patent Law, Joshua Sarnoff

College of Law Faculty

In Bilcare Ltd. v. M/S The Supreme Industries Ltd., the Delhi High Court affirmed a lower court order vacating ex parte injunctions against an alleged infringer of a patent, rejecting arguments that the patent should be presumed valid even though the patent was the subject of opposition proceedings.

Teleflex Co., the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit’s long-standing interpretation of Section 103 of the Patent Act, i.e., that a challenger seeking to prove invalidity must demonstrate a teaching, suggestion, or motivation to combine prior art references. These cases …


The Lessons Of Capturing The Friedmans: Moral Panic, Institutional Denial And Due Process, Susan Bandes Jun 2007

The Lessons Of Capturing The Friedmans: Moral Panic, Institutional Denial And Due Process, Susan Bandes

College of Law Faculty

In the 1980's hundreds of childcare workers were accused of sexually abusing children in horrific ways. Arnold and Jesse Friedman, whose prosecutions are chronicled in the film Capturing the Friedmans, were among those convicted and sent to prison during this period. Sociologists have called this series of prosecutions a classic moral panic: a widespread, hostile, volatile overreaction to a perceived societal threat. This paper examines the concept of moral panic in the context of the day care sexual abuse prosecutions in general, and the Friedman prosecutions in particular. It begins by exploring the role of the legal system in …

Authors In Disguise: Why The Visual Artists Rights Act Got It Wrong, Roberta Kwall Jan 2007

Authors In Disguise: Why The Visual Artists Rights Act Got It Wrong, Roberta Kwall

College of Law Faculty

Moral rights protection exists to recognize authorship autonomy by safeguarding the author's meaning and message. Despite the fact that all authors owe a debt to the past, the authorship construct as we know it today embodies the idea of crafting a work so that it embodies the author's personal stamp of autonomy. Notwithstanding the borrowing inherent in the authorship process, it is still the author who, on an individual or joint basis, composes the creative package.When a work of authorship manifests a meaning and message specific to the author, the moral right of attribution safeguards the author's original conceptions. Attribution …
