Brand Spillovers, Eric Goldman
Brand Spillovers, Eric Goldman
Faculty Publications
This Article considers the spillover effects of trademarks - in particular, brand spillovers, which occur when consumer interest in a trademark increases the profits of third parties who do not own the trademark. Using techniques such as loss leaders and shelf space adjacency, retailers routinely create brand spillovers for their profit, and trademark law generally has not restricted these activities. Online intermediaries, such as search engines, also create and profit from brand spillovers by selling manufacturers' trademarks for advertising purposes (keyword triggering). However, in contrast to retailer practices, keyword triggering has sparked a heated and irresolute battle over its legitimacy …
Contextualizing Varnum V. Brien: A "Moment" In History, Patricia A. Cain
Contextualizing Varnum V. Brien: A "Moment" In History, Patricia A. Cain
Faculty Publications
Varnum v. Brien is the last case in a line of state constitutional law challenges in what has been a a fifteen-year campaign by LGBT public interest lawyers seeking legal recognition for same-sex couples. While the litigation may be over for now, the larger battle is just beginning. The Iowa Supreme Court’s ruling in Varnum will play a central role in this future battle. It stands as part of a major “moment” in the modern history of recognizing equal marriage rights for same-sex couples. This article describes the historical context in which Varnum was litigated and identifies three important “moments” …
The Misuse Of Reasonable Royalty Damages As A Patent Infringement Deterrent, Brian J. Love
The Misuse Of Reasonable Royalty Damages As A Patent Infringement Deterrent, Brian J. Love
Faculty Publications
This Article studies the Federal Circuit's use of excessive reasonable royalty awards as a patent infringement deterrent. I argue against this practice, explaining that, properly viewed in context of the patent system as a whole, distorting the reasonable royalty measure of damages is an unnecessary and ineffective means of ensuring an optimal level of reward for inventors and deterrence for infringers. First, I introduce cases in which the Federal Circuit and other courts following its lead have awarded punitive reasonable royalty awards and explain the Federal Circuit's professed rationale for doing so. Next, I demonstrate that this practice makes little …

Doma And The Internal Revenue Code, Patricia A. Cain
Doma And The Internal Revenue Code, Patricia A. Cain
Faculty Publications
The purpose of this article is to make the argument that I think needs to be made: DOMA, as applied to the Internal Revenue Code as a whole, is unconstitutional because it lacks a rational basis.
Let me explain, up front, that my constitutional argument about § 3 has nothing to do with whether Congress has the power to enact such legislation. Congress, after all, does have the power to levy taxes and control our borders. Thus, Congress should have the power to determine which married couples can file a joint return and which non-citizen spouses can be given preferential …
Pregnancy Discrimination And Social Change: Evolving Consciousness About A Worker's Right To Job-Protected, Paid Leave, Patricia Shiu, Stephanie Wildman
Pregnancy Discrimination And Social Change: Evolving Consciousness About A Worker's Right To Job-Protected, Paid Leave, Patricia Shiu, Stephanie Wildman
Faculty Publications
This Article examines the change over the past few decades in U.S. law and societal attitudes concerning a worker's right to job-protected, paid leave. Though common around the world, job-protected, paid leave eludes the U.S. workforce. The authors begin by considering the concept of work, its relation to identity, and the construction of safety nets for workers when they need income replacement. The Article considers the movement to establish job-protected, paid leave that encompasses and values a worker's work, family, and personal life.
The modern movement originated with pregnant workers' need for time away from work during pregnancy. Women who …
Business, The Roberts Court, And The Solicitor General: Why The Supreme Court's Recent Business Decisions May Not Reveal Very Much, Sri Srinivasan, Bradley W. Joondeph
Business, The Roberts Court, And The Solicitor General: Why The Supreme Court's Recent Business Decisions May Not Reveal Very Much, Sri Srinivasan, Bradley W. Joondeph
Faculty Publications
This essay presents an empirical examination of the full universe of the Roberts Court’s decisions affecting the interests of business from January 2006, when Justice Alito joined the Court, to January 2009. As a purely descriptive matter, we find that the Court tended to reach results favorable to business interests, and that it tended to adopt the positions urged by the Bush administration. Moreover, when those two positions diverged-most saliently, in cases where the United States and the United States Chamber of Commerce filed opposing amicus briefs-the Roberts Court overwhelmingly sided with the government.
While these findings are interesting, our …
Copyright Law: The Last Five Years Of Journal Coverage, Tyler T. Ochoa
Copyright Law: The Last Five Years Of Journal Coverage, Tyler T. Ochoa
Faculty Publications
Five years ago, I was asked to write an essay to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Santa Clara Computer and High Technology Law Journal. In that essay, I surveyed the major developments in copyright law during the previous twenty years and documented how those developments had been chronicled (or foreshadowed) in the Journal. Today, as the Journal publishes the first issue of its 25th volume, I take this opportunity to look back at the Journal's coverage of copyright law during the past five years.
Sanctuary Policies & Immigration Federalism: A Dialectic Analysis, Pratheepan Gulasekaram, Rose Villazor
Sanctuary Policies & Immigration Federalism: A Dialectic Analysis, Pratheepan Gulasekaram, Rose Villazor
Faculty Publications
This Article explores the doctrinal and theoretical challenges confronting San Francisco's non-cooperation ordinance, and similar subfederal actions. It does so using a non-conventional but useful method of engaging in a dialectic exchange. In using the dialectic structure, we take our cue from Professor Stephen Legomsky's elegant use of the device in his recent article on the meaning of undocumented status. As he noted, the format has been "under-utilized" in legal scholarly literature. More scholars should use this method, he contended, because it helps to reveal the diametrically opposed positions of various groups concerning aparticular issue. Importantly, a dialectic conversation facilitates …
Cash Businesses And Tax Evasion, Susan Morse, Stewart Karlinsky, Joseph Bankman
Cash Businesses And Tax Evasion, Susan Morse, Stewart Karlinsky, Joseph Bankman
Faculty Publications
This Article attempts to provide a qualitative picture of tax evasion in the small business sector. It provides details from almost 275 field study interviews with cash business owners and with tax preparers and bankers who serve cash business clients. Our research suggests answers to the questions of who evades taxes, what taxes they evade, and why and how they evade taxes. This Article proceeds in three additional parts. Part II summarizes the main threads of relevant social science research on small business tax compliance. Part III describes the methodology and results of this interview study. Part IV concludes.
Obstacles On The Road To Gender Justice: The International Criminal Tribunal For Rwanda As Object Lesson, Beth Van Schaack
Obstacles On The Road To Gender Justice: The International Criminal Tribunal For Rwanda As Object Lesson, Beth Van Schaack
Faculty Publications
Although the substantive law concerned with gender violence is now well established, and the principle of legality can no longer serve as a barrier to prosecutions for gender violence, significant obstacles remain to ensuring a robust system of gender justice in international criminal law in the face of continued violations. These obstacles are less visible than defects in positive law because they emerge in the practice of international criminal law at crucial yet shrouded stages of the penal process: investigation, charging, pre-trial plea negotiations, trial preparation, theprovision of protective measures, and appeals. Most importantly, strong positive law is irrelevant where …

Death Penalty Appeals And Habeas Proceedings: The California Experience, Gerald F. Uelmen
Faculty Publications
Despite spending more than any other state on its implementation and administration, California today is saddled with a death penalty law that can be described only as completely dysfunctional. We have the longest death row in America, with approximately 670 inmates awaiting execution. Typically, the lapse of time between sentence and execution is twenty-five years, twice the national average, and is growing wider each year. One hundred nineteen inmates have spent more than twenty years on California's death row. Most of them will certainly die before they are ever executed. Since restoration of the death penalty in 1978, the leading …
