Note On Serendipitous Legal Protections: Preemption Continued - 1989, Wendy J. Gordon
Note On Serendipitous Legal Protections: Preemption Continued - 1989, Wendy J. Gordon
Scholarship Chronologically
The First Circuit in Decosta II recognized something r-ar-ely focused on, but of great importance-- namely, the following question: assuming there are applicable federal ·al policies of non-protection, do those policies for-bid only direct state attempts to restrain copying, or- do they also for-bid any state law which has as one of its effects a restraint on copying?

The Semiconductor Chip Protection Act And Its Impact On The International Protection Of Chip Designs, Jay Erstling
The Semiconductor Chip Protection Act And Its Impact On The International Protection Of Chip Designs, Jay Erstling
Faculty Scholarship
The United States Semiconductor Chip Protection Act of 1984 (“SCPA”') has already had a profound impact on the creation of foreign legal systems of chip protection. The allure of reciprocity under the SCPA has motivated a host of nations, including Japan, the Member States of the European Communities (“EC”'), Sweden, Finland, Canada, Australia, and Switzerland, to adopt or consider adopting chip protection legislation. The SCPA has also been the impetus for multilateral discussions within the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”') and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (“GATT”') to establish an international standard of chip protection. The result has …
Copyright Legislation And Technological Change, Jessica D. Litman
Copyright Legislation And Technological Change, Jessica D. Litman
Articles
Throughout its history, copyright law has had difficulty accommodating technological change. Although the substance of copyright legislation in this century has evolved from meetings among industry representatives whose avowed purpose was to draft legislation that provided for the future,6 the resulting statutes have done so poorly. The language of copyright statutes has been phrased in fact-specific language that has grown obsolete as new modes and mediums of copyrightable expression have developed. Whatever copyright statute has been on the books has been routinely, and justifiably, criticized as outmoded.7 In this Article, I suggest that the nature of the legislative process we …
A Garland Of Reflections On Three International Copyright Topics, Peter Jaszi
A Garland Of Reflections On Three International Copyright Topics, Peter Jaszi
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
The United States is a party to many copyright treaties, including a network of bilateral arrangements with other countries and one regional agreement. I will concentrate on the two major multilateral agreements to which the United States is a party, the Universal Copyright Convention ("UCC") and the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works ("Berne Convention").
An Inquiry Into The Merits Of Copyright: The Challenges Of Consistency, Consent And Encouragement Theory, Wendy J. Gordon
An Inquiry Into The Merits Of Copyright: The Challenges Of Consistency, Consent And Encouragement Theory, Wendy J. Gordon
Faculty Scholarship
Hostility to copyright has a long and honorable history. In the nineteenth century, for example, Lord Macaulay argued that while copyright might be necessary to ensure a "supply of good books," the monopoly that it imposed was at best a necessary evil.
"For the sake of the good we must submit to the evil; but the evil ought
not to last a day longer than is necessary for the purpose of securing the good."
A number of studies critical of intellectual property followed in our century. The most well known is probably the economically oriented 1970 study by Stephen Breyer …

More On Indirect Protections: Piggyback Damage Claims - 1989, Wendy J. Gordon
More On Indirect Protections: Piggyback Damage Claims - 1989, Wendy J. Gordon
Scholarship Chronologically
One issue is whether indirect i/p protection should be allowed to, or encouraged to, piggyback on other forms of protection, 1 ike privacy & contract law. (This is the KEWANEE issue. It's a matter of general pol icy, and of preemption.). Another issue is whether, within federal i/p law, a cause of action based on limited statutory infringement should be handled any differently because other damage damage which wouldn't be actionable alone under the relevant federal statute - is present. (This is raised by the NATION issue. It's a matter of legislative intent & general policy,) Although both issues involve …

French Copyright Law: A Comparative Overview, Jane C. Ginsburg
French Copyright Law: A Comparative Overview, Jane C. Ginsburg
Faculty Scholarship
French copyright law has attracted considerable recent attention in the United States. Debate over the nature and scope of legislation permitting U.S. entry into the Berne Union for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works spurred some of this interest: because France was a founding member of that Union, some participants in the Berne adherence process perceived "Berne level" copyright protection to be synonymous with "French" copyright protection. As Congress continues to consider modifications to the U.S. copyright law, particularly in the area of moral rights, France again supplies a leading example. And the on-going litigation in France concerning the …
Patents And The Progress Of Science: Exclusive Rights And Experimental Use, Rebecca S. Eisenberg
Patents And The Progress Of Science: Exclusive Rights And Experimental Use, Rebecca S. Eisenberg
Articles
In this article I analyze the proper scope of an experimental use exemption from patent infringement liability by comparing the rationales behind promoting technological progress through granting exclusive patent rights in inventions with competing arguments for promoting scientific progress by allowing all investigators to enjoy free access to the discoveries of other scientists. I begin by reviewing key features of the patent laws and theoretical justifications for granting patent monopolies in order to clarify the implications of existing patent doctrine and theory for an experimental use exemption. I then look to the literature in the sociology, history, and philosophy of …
