Copyright's Fixation Requirement: Is It Still Needed?, Attamongkol Tantratian
Copyright's Fixation Requirement: Is It Still Needed?, Attamongkol Tantratian
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
While the United States requires fixation for an original work to be entitled to federal copyright protection, many other countries ignore such requirement. The difference could lead to partial copyright protection standards across jurisdictions over certain works that are not fixed. Examples of such works include extemporaneous speeches, lectures, improvisational performances, and contemporary arts that are transitory. Moreover, with today’s rapid development of arts and technologies, creative works can be presented via new media without being fixed in a traditional way. The examples include live streams of lectures and music performances, which have become part of the “new normal.” In …
Construction Of A Dispute-Resolution Framework Under The International Judicial System For The Settlement Of The Inter-Korean Conflict Over The Northern Limit Line: Operating The Advisory Proceedings Of The International Court Of Justice, Hyun Jin Kim
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
To construct a dispute-resolution framework for the inter-Korean conflict over the Northern Limit Line (“NLL Conflict”) under the international judicial system, this dissertation proposes an advisory proceeding of the International Court of Justice (“ICJ”) as the most promising alternative. It has proven difficult to draw a negotiated solution to this decades-long conflict, despite each of the respective State parties involved in the NLL Conflict presenting various arguments and claims about the valid legal status of the NLL. In this context, this dissertation examines the ICJ’s contribution to the resolution of international disputes, particularly controversy over the question of laws, through …
Regulating Multinational Corporations In International Investment Law And Arbitration: Towards Limiting The Treaty Shopping, Sharaf Khaled Alsharaf
Regulating Multinational Corporations In International Investment Law And Arbitration: Towards Limiting The Treaty Shopping, Sharaf Khaled Alsharaf
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
This study examines the limitations of treaty shopping in international investment law and arbitration by recognizing some steps and factors that states, especially developing states, and arbitral tribunals may consider regarding the purpose and objective of investment agreements and contracting states’ viewpoints. The focus is solely on the multinational corporation as a corporate investor. To understand these limitations, this study has divided the topic through three separate research questions. The first question is how a state can regulate MNCs in a way that limits their ability to practice treaty shopping, whether domestically or internationally via BITs or regional investment agreement, …

The Regulatory Framework Of The Market Of Corporate Control Legal And Economic Analysis Of The Saudi Case, Ali Al Sari
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
For many nations across the globe, especially the US and the UK, market for corporate control is a paradigm of policy agenda. This is a significant concept in of economics, finance, and law.

Small Pool For Big Data: Researching For Sustainable Data Focused On Open Government Data (Ogd) Movement, Sukchan Sim
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
When Sir Isaac Newton said his famous statement "standing on the shoulders of giants," it was a modest phrase and explained the necessity of sharing knowledge or information to make the next intellectual progress. The data industry is now the fastest developing area, but many ambiguities are a subject in law. The protection of data is a fascinating and still unsolved challenge for intellectual property law. Data is essential in the matter of new industry and our lifestyle at individual, corporate, and institutional levels. And the legal protection needs to work to offer vivid transactions of data for creative interactions. …
The Preemptive Effect Of The Cisg On Tort Claims Under Us Law, Phutchaya Numngern
The Preemptive Effect Of The Cisg On Tort Claims Under Us Law, Phutchaya Numngern
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
This thesis emphasizes a core concept of the preemptive effect that uniform law may have on other domestic norms. It exemplifies the situation in which the laws and principles of contracts, particularly the uniform laws and principles formulated for transnational sales, can exclude or limit tort liability. This study does not object to the recognition of concurrency of claims under contract and tort law. On the contrary, it accepts that the contracting party’s right to both contract and tort actions is commonly recognized in many legal systems, especially the common law system. Tort liability could be actionable insofar as the …

Cooperation In The International System: An Interdisciplinary Investigation At The Intersection Of International Relations And International Law, Kalyani Unkule
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
A conversation between the disciplines of International Relations and International Law illuminates the nature of interstate cooperation and enhances our understanding of the nature and potential of international law. There are methodological and practical asymmetries between International Relations and International Law which create ideal conditions for interdisciplinary work. Studying international cooperation on protecting cultural heritage enable us to address the above questions and reevaluate and extend underlying theoretical frameworks.
Hate Speech And Democracy: Deciding What Sort Of Legal Doctrine Is Best Suited To Hate Speech Regulation In Taiwan, Yen-Hsiang Chang
Hate Speech And Democracy: Deciding What Sort Of Legal Doctrine Is Best Suited To Hate Speech Regulation In Taiwan, Yen-Hsiang Chang
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
Taiwanese people are committed to the values of freedom, democracy, and human rights. Nowadays, according to the rating posted on the Freedom House website, Taiwan is considered one of the world’s free countries and is among the best in providing political rights and civil liberties. Knowing this current state, it is hard to believe that the small island was under a period of martial law lasting for 38 years in the middle of the twentieth century.
Tremendous progress and transition in Taiwanese politics and society has happened after democratization. One significant change is the progression of the right to freedom …
Reproductive Contracts: An Analysis Of Reproductive Treatments, A Critique Of Forms Of Informed Consent, And Prevention Of Circumvention Of Medical Tourism, Minsung Kim
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
The goal of the dissertation is to analyze reproductive medicine, criticize informed consent forms for receiving reproductive treatments, and imply prevention of circumvention of medical tourism. Most of all, the dissertation considers a theoretical approach regarding how we understand reproductive treatments. The dissertation divides reproductive treatments into sustainable and disruptive ones. Reproductive treatments referred to as sustainable ones have legally become pervasive after regulatory evaluations concerning safety, ethical, and legal concerns. However, a few reproductive treatments that are referred to as disruptive ones still have led to disputes regarding whether infertility couples can require and receive them for treatment. The …

Capital Gains Tax Law And Policy In The U.S. And China: A Comparative Study, Chen Ye
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation provides a review of tax theories, laws, and policies of the U.S. and China on taxing capital gains. Based on the review, I draw a comparative analysis of the two countries’ laws and policies and prescribe legislative options for taxing capital gains under the individual income tax law in China.
The dissertation contributes to both the Chinese literature and the U.S. literature: For China, this research takes upon an overlooked yet increasingly important issue in China’s individual income tax—the taxation of capital gains. Though the 2018 Individual Income Tax Law brought significant changes to the classification of individual …
Masterpiece's Equal Treatment Of The Religious And Expressive Freedoms Under The First Amendment, Hwi Won Kim
Masterpiece's Equal Treatment Of The Religious And Expressive Freedoms Under The First Amendment, Hwi Won Kim
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
This thesis aims at examining the validity of free speech claims for religious exemptions on the one hand and reviewing the Masterpiece Court's holdings on the current complex entanglement of religious exemption theories, on the other hand; and finally, it also provides a possible suggestion for co-existing between two constitutional values without an all-or-nothing solution.
As to the free speech argument, the Court would likely decide that a compelled speech argument should succeed if, and only if, the vendor’s good or service is expressive under the Free Speech Clause. For a baker, the Court would protect making a custom cake …
The Current System Of Resolving Insurance Disputes In Saudi Arabia: Its Weaknesses And Ways Of Developing It, Saleh Alsheha
The Current System Of Resolving Insurance Disputes In Saudi Arabia: Its Weaknesses And Ways Of Developing It, Saleh Alsheha
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
Insurance industry generally revolves around financial risks, and the business of insurance companies is reliant on the resolution of claims that arise from these risks associated with insurance policies. In fact, insurance companies routinely adjust claims and provide indemnities to the insureds or beneficiaries. In some cases, however, the resolution of claims may falter, resulting in disputes that involve conflicting views between the insurer and insured on the eligibility of indemnity. Hence, this requires the existence of an effective and smooth mechanism that guarantees the end of such conflicts and protects the rights of the parties involved in insurance contracts. …

The Legal Feasibility Of Ratification Of The United Nations Convention On Contracts For The International Sale Of Goods (Cisg) By Saudi Arabia: A Comparative Study Between Cisg And Islamic Law, Ibrahim Mansour Alwehaibi
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
This study examines the legal feasibility of ratification of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for International Sale of Goods (CISG) by Saudi Arabia as well other Islamic countries that apply Islamic law (Sharia). To understand the feasibility, this study is divided in three parts. Part One serves as a brief introduction to the CISG and Islamic Law (which is the governing contract law in Saudi Arabia). Part Two provides a comparison between the provisions of the CISG and Islamic Law, assessing whether they conflict or are compatible with one another. It is challenging to examine the entire Convention, so …
Improving Taiwan's Civil Procedure By Citizen Participation: Focusing On Expert Testimony In Public Interest Cases, Yin-Song Hsu
Improving Taiwan's Civil Procedure By Citizen Participation: Focusing On Expert Testimony In Public Interest Cases, Yin-Song Hsu
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
“The life of the law has not been logic; it has been experience.”
United States Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr's famous quotation adequately explains the institutional purpose of citizen participation in important trials. Court decisions require both logical reasoning and a practical adherence to the reality of citizens’ experiences. Currently, the Taiwanese public believes that judicial decisions are often not in line with national perceptions of law. In addition, judges’ limited social experiences often cause the public to distrust their verdicts. The life experiences of citizens can properly fill in the gaps in judicial knowledge and supplement the …
The Need For Thailand To Accede To Conventions On Statelessness, Pattranan Ruamsuk
The Need For Thailand To Accede To Conventions On Statelessness, Pattranan Ruamsuk
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
‘Statelessness’ is a global phenomenon that refers to the lack of nationality of an individual. Although the issue of statelessness can be understood as the lack of nationality or the protections based on nationality, the solutions can be complicated because they interfere with the sovereign power of the state. Thailand is home to one of the largest stateless populations in the world. It has been working on solving the problem of statelessness with the help of international organizations, such as the United Nations and the Adventists Development and Relief Agency. However, despite the positive developments in Thailand, there are still …
