Sorry, No Remedy: Intersectionality And The Grand Irony Of Erisa, Paul M. Secunda Jan 2009

Sorry, No Remedy: Intersectionality And The Grand Irony Of Erisa, Paul M. Secunda

Faculty Publications

Congress enacted the Employee Retiree Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) to protect employees' retirement and welfare benefits. Nevertheless, the Act has been interpreted by the U.S Supreme Court over the years to be in essence an Employers' Security Act, with employers using ERISA to shield themselves against employee benefit-related claims. The flaw in the current ERISA scheme lies at the intersection of ERISA's preemption and remedial provisions. Courts broadly interpret the preemption provisions of ERISA to invalidate employee benefits-related state laws and then force employees to depend on an inadequate, "comprehensive and reticulated" remedial scheme. This “intersectionality” problem leads …


A Matter Of Context: Social Framework Evidence In Employment Discrimination Class Actions, Melissa Hart, Paul M. Secunda Jan 2009

A Matter Of Context: Social Framework Evidence In Employment Discrimination Class Actions, Melissa Hart, Paul M. Secunda

Faculty Publications

In litigation disputes over the certification of employment discrimination class actions, social scientists have come to play a central, yet controversial, role. Organizational behavioralists and social psychologists regularly testify for the plaintiffs, offering what is commonly referred to as social framework testimony. These experts explain the general social science research on the operation of stereotyping and bias in decisionmaking and examine the policies and practices operating in a challenged workplace to identify those that research has shown will tend to increase and those that will tend to limit the likely impact of these factors. Defendants fight hard against the admission …


Commercialized Intercollegiate Athletics: A Proposal For Targeted Reform Consistent With American Cultural Forces And Marketplace Realities, Matthew J. Mitten, James L. Musselman, Bruce W. Burton Jan 2009

Commercialized Intercollegiate Athletics: A Proposal For Targeted Reform Consistent With American Cultural Forces And Marketplace Realities, Matthew J. Mitten, James L. Musselman, Bruce W. Burton

Faculty Publications

This article observes that American society’s passion for intercollegiate sports competition is an extremely powerful, naturally evolved cultural force. The marketplace responds to cultural forces, and the commercialization of college sports directly reflects the marketplace realities of our society. For example, colleges and universities rationally use their intercollegiate athletic programs, particularly NCAA Division 1 FBS football and basketball, as a means to achieve a wide range of legitimate objectives of higher education. Thus, the authors advocate that university athletic department revenues should continue to be exempt from federal taxation, specifically the unrelated business income tax (UBIT), despite the increasingly commercialized …

What Goes Around, Comes Around: How Indian Tribes Can Profit In The Aftermath Of Seminole Tribe And Florida Prepaid, Jeremiah A. Bryar Jan 2009

What Goes Around, Comes Around: How Indian Tribes Can Profit In The Aftermath Of Seminole Tribe And Florida Prepaid, Jeremiah A. Bryar

Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review

Of the approximate 1.5 million American Indians living in the United States only 403,714 were employed in 2001 and nearly one-third of them lived below the poverty line. This article explains that one possible solution to American Indian poverty is the creation of sovereign chartered research groups that would be shielded by tribal sovereign immunity. In patent law there are exceptions to a patent owner's ability to bring a successful suit against patent infringers. One of these exceptions is when a sovereign, such as an American Indian tribe, infringes on a patent owner's patent. Tribal sovereign immunity means that American …


Rethinking The Role Of Clinical Trial Data In International Intellectual Property Law: The Case For A Public Goods Approach, Jerome H. Reichman Jan 2009

Rethinking The Role Of Clinical Trial Data In International Intellectual Property Law: The Case For A Public Goods Approach, Jerome H. Reichman

Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review

Clinical trials are currently used to test drugs; however, the risk and cost of clinical trials are increasing so drastically that the clinical trials may become unsustainable. This article evaluates the legal and economic trends of intellectual property protection for pharmaceutical clinical trial data. The protection of clinical trials has become an alternative to patents as market exclusivity encourages the development and testing of unpatentable pharmaceuticals. This author argues that clinical trials should be treated as a national and international public good instead of a private good and proposes that the government should oversee and fund the clinical trials to …


International Legal Protection Of Trademarks In China, Robert H. Hu Jan 2009

International Legal Protection Of Trademarks In China, Robert H. Hu

Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review

In China, the concept of intellectual property is relatively new. Chinese officials began taking steps towards trademark regulations in the 1950s, but it was not until 1982 that the first Chinese Trademark Law was enacted. Today, because of the growing global economy, China has had the highest number of trademark requests in the world for the fifth year in a row. In response to domestic and international pressures, Chinese trademark law and courts have had to adapt to the ever-changing landscape. This article first examines the development of Chinese intellectual property law through the international trademark agreements where China is …

Navigating The Safe Harbor Rule: The Need For A Dmca Compass, Tiffany N. Beaty Jan 2009

Navigating The Safe Harbor Rule: The Need For A Dmca Compass, Tiffany N. Beaty

Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review

The internet is a medium for more than just email and web browsing. Today, many internet users utilize the internet to access and share music, movies, and other types of media. Copyright law has attempted to keep up with the dynamic nature of the internet; however, this Comment posits it has only been marginally successful. The author examines whether the Safe Harbor Rule of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DCMA) is sufficient in balancing the need to protect copyright owners against the need for Internet Service Providers to be protected from third-party user suits. In doing so, the author concludes …
