Although recent US case law significantly increased the value of design patents, the European industry has long acknowledged the commercial value of product designs and developed EU-wide protection for the designs regardless of registration. According to recent statistics, both US and EU design patents and community design rights outperform utility patents on validity and infringement. The result of the community design rights is particularly surprising because both registered and unregistered design rights issue without any examination of substantive requirements. Effective product design protection is a key to success for consumer goods manufacturers to complete in the global market. However, there …

Health care reform tops our national policy agenda, ranking second only behind Iraq as the issue that the public wants the 2008 Presidential candidates to address. This is no surprise, as health care spending represents nearly one out of every six dollars spent in the national economy, costs continue to climb, and health insurance is increasingly hard to get, keep, and afford. The numbers are staggering, and numbing. Most of us have heard that 46.5 million people were without insurance for the entire year in 2006, and nearly 89.6 million people were without insurance for some period during 2006 or …

Professor Frank K. Upham's Law and Social Change in Postwar Japan represents a major contribution to Western understanding of the process of legal change in Japan. In four excellent case studies spanning subject matters as diverse as the treatment of minorities and industrial planning, Upham reveals a legal culture of considerable complexity, which challenges simple generalizations. From this material, Upham seeks to derive a number of central themes. Certain of these themes are insightful and solidly supported by Upham's own case studies and other materials on Japanese law. Other themes are more speculative, raising the danger that many of the …

Professor Setsuo Miyazawa's Policing in Japan: A Study on Making Crime represents a very valuable addition to the growing body of English-language works on the Japanese police. This is the first such observational study of the police by a Japanese scholar and the only study to examine the behavior of Japanese detectives. Miyazawa, a professor at Kobe University and one of the leading legal sociologists in Japan, has buttressed his own observations with an extensive, and revealing, questionnaire survey of police attitudes.

English-Japanese: The Dictionary of Anglo-American Law, published by the University of Tokyo Press, represents a tremendous achievement. Its publication in 1991 culminated a'seven-year effort in which more than fifty leading Japanese scholars actively participated. These included specialists in a wide range of fields, not just professors of Anglo-American law. The effort was overseen-and a heavy share of the work borne by-a seven-member Editorial Committee, which held more than 150 meetings in the process of preparing the dictionary. Based on accounts I have received from many of the professors who participated in the project, however, it is clear that the …
