Freedom-To-Operate In The Crop Sciences: Procedure, Stanley P. Kowalski
Freedom-To-Operate In The Crop Sciences: Procedure, Stanley P. Kowalski
Law Faculty Scholarship
Freedom to operate (FTO) is the ability to proceed with research, development and commercialization of a crop science product, while fully accounting for any potential risks of infringing activity, that is, whether a product can be made, used, sold, offered for sale, or exported, with a minimal risk of infringing the unlicensed intellectual property rights (IPRs) or tangible property rights (TPRs) of another. An FTO analysis begins with the ‘FTO team’ systematically dissecting the crop science product into the components, combination of components, processes and germplasm that went into its research and development. This is followed by generating a series …
Creative Commons As Conversational Copyright, Michael W. Carroll
Creative Commons As Conversational Copyright, Michael W. Carroll
Working Paper Series
Copyright law's default settings inhibit sharing and adaptation of creative works even though new digital technologies greatly enhance individuals' capacity to engage in creative conversation. Creative Commons licenses enable a form of conversational copyright through which creators share their works, primarily over the Internet, while asserting some limitation on user's right with respect to works in the licensed commons. More specifically, this chapter explains the problems in copyright law to which Creative Commons licenses respond, the methods chosen, and why the machine-readable and public aspects of the licenses are specific examples of a more general phenomenon in digital copyright law …

Reconceptualizing Intellectual Property Interests In A Human Rights Framework, Peter K. Yu
Reconceptualizing Intellectual Property Interests In A Human Rights Framework, Peter K. Yu
Faculty Scholarship
Since the establishment of the World Trade Organization and the entering into effect of the TRIPs Agreement, government officials, international bureaucrats, intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations, courts, and scholars have focused more attention on the interplay of human rights and intellectual property rights. For example, the U.N. Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights recently noted the considerable tension and conflict between these two sets of rights. To avoid these conflicts, the Sub-Commission recommended the primacy of human rights obligations over economic policies and agreements.
While this hierarchy of rights appears straightforward, the situation is actually more complicated because …
An Empirical Look At Software Patents, James Bessen, Robert M. Hunt
An Empirical Look At Software Patents, James Bessen, Robert M. Hunt
Faculty Scholarship
U.S. legal changes have made it easier to obtain patents on inventions that use software. Software patents have grown rapidly and now comprise 15 percent of all patents. They are acquired primarily by large manufacturing firms in industries known for strategic patenting; only 5 percent belong to software publishers. The very large increase in software patent propensity over time is not adequately explained by changes in R&D investments, employment of computer programmers, or productivity growth. The residual increase in patent propensity is consistent with a sizeable rise in the cost effectiveness of software patents during the 1990s. We find evidence …

International Enclosure, The Regime Complex, And Intellectual Property Schizophrenia, Peter K. Yu
Faculty Scholarship
The year 2005 marked the tenth anniversary of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights. Since it entered into effect on January 1, 1995, the Agreement has impacted a wide variety of areas, including agriculture, health, the environment, education, culture, competition, free speech, democracy, and the rule of law. Today, intellectual property protection has been considered a major issue in both the domestic and international policy debates, and policymakers have actively explored intellectual property issues in many different international regimes. These regimes range from public health to human rights and from biological diversity to information and communications.

Why Custom Cannot Save Copyright's Fair Use Defense, Jennifer E. Rothman
Why Custom Cannot Save Copyright's Fair Use Defense, Jennifer E. Rothman
All Faculty Scholarship
This article is a short reply to Richard Epstein's comments on my article, The Questionable Use of Custom in Intellectual Property, 93 Virginia Law Review 1899 (2007). In the underlying article, I critique the general preference of courts to incorporate customary practices into intellectual property law. In this reply, I disagree with Professor Epstein's claim that custom should be dispositive in some instances to determine the scope of copyright's fair use defense. Although I observe that for some individual parties various customary practices may be cost-effective, their incorporation into the law expands the scope of copyright in ways that unreasonably …
Chain Reaction: How Property Begets Property, Sabrina Safrin
Chain Reaction: How Property Begets Property, Sabrina Safrin
Rutgers Law School (Newark) Faculty Papers
Classic theories for the evolution of property rights consider the emergence of private property to be a progressive development reflecting a society’s movement to a more efficient property regime. This article argues that instead of this progressive dynamic, a more subtle and damaging chain reaction dynamic can come into play that traditional theories for intellectual and other property rights neither anticipate nor explain. The article suggests that the expansion of intellectual and other property rights have an internally generative dynamic. Drawing upon contemporary case studies, the article argues that property rights evolve in reaction to each other. The creation of …

Harmonization Through Condemnation: Is New London The Key To World Patent Harmony?, Max Oppenheimer
All Faculty Scholarship
Since 1790, when two U.S. patent applicants have claimed the same invention, the patent has been awarded to the first inventor. Today, the United States stands alone in the industrialized world, and many argue that the United States should, in the interest of world patent harmony, change its system so as to award a contested patent to the first applicant. Of the arguments advanced to justify the change, the only ones that withstand scrutiny are that "all the other countries are doing it" and the hope that some concessions in other aspects of intellectual property or trade might be obtained …
Patent Reform And Differential Impact, Matthew Sag, Kurt W. Rohde
Patent Reform And Differential Impact, Matthew Sag, Kurt W. Rohde
Faculty Articles
The structure of the article is as follows. Part I provides an introduction to the problems created by bad patents and introduces the differential impact test for evaluating patent reform proposals.
Part II examines the origin of bad patents and applies two different economic models to explain their persistence. The first model focuses on a potential infringer’s incentives to challenge a bad patent; the second model focuses on a patent holder’s incentive to assert a patent. We explain bad patents as an emergent phenomenon: they are the product of the apparently low quality of patent examination and the complex, uncertain, …

On The Legal Consequences Of Sauces: Should Thomas Keller's Recipes Be Per Se Copyrightable?, Christopher J. Buccafusco
On The Legal Consequences Of Sauces: Should Thomas Keller's Recipes Be Per Se Copyrightable?, Christopher J. Buccafusco
All Faculty Scholarship
The restaurant industry now takes in over $500 billion a year, but recent courts have been skeptical of the notion that one of its most valuable assets, original recipes, are subject to copyright protection. With more litigation looming and the contours of the debate insufficiently mapped out, this article establishes the appropriate groundwork for analyzing the copyrightability of recipes. I show that, contrary to recent appellate court opinions, recipes meet the statutory requirements for copyrightability. I argue, by analogizing to musical compositions, that written recipes work to satisfy the fixation requirement of copyright law just as musical notation does for …
The Myth Of Originality, Robert Greenstreet
The Myth Of Originality, Robert Greenstreet
Architecture Faculty Articles
The concept of originality has always been a sensitive one in architectural design. Architects are hired for ideas and services provided to clients via architectural drawings and are the foundation of professional viability. Has the 1990 enactment of The Architectural Works Copyright Protection Act improved the overall lot of architects with regard to protection of their ideas and, by extension, their livelihood? Or, have the implications of the Act provided as many problems for architects as relief?

The New Federal Anti-Dilution Act: Reinstating The Myth Of Likely Dilutive Harm As A Mask Anti-Free-Rider Liability, David Franklyn
Publications
The new federal anti-dilution act, the Trademark Dilution Revision Act of 2006 (the "TDRA"), promises to restore an anti-freerider tool to the hands of judges who wish to grant expansive trademark rights to famous mark owners. The impulse to provide this kind of relief is grounded in a sound principle: between the entity that created the famous mark and others who wish to profit from it in foreseeable collateral markets, the mark creator is usually the party that has a superior claim to capture that collateral value and to ensure the value of the mark for future exploitation in a …

Reason Or Madness: A Defense Of Copyright's Growing Pains, Marc H. Greenberg
Publications
A growing conflict between the creators and owners of expressive works protected by copyright law and the community of users and distributors of those works has focused on whether the law is so restrictive that it no longer meets the constitutional mandate that intellectual property law should serve to promote the growth and development of useful and expressive works. Has the scope of copyright's growth been reasonable, or are its restrictions madness, and harmful to the development and distribution of art? This article explores the seven leading criticisms leveled against copyright's expansion, and examines one recent effort at legislative reform …

Not All Property Is Created Equal: Why Modern Courts Resist Applying The Takings Clause To Patents, And Why They Are Right To Do So, Davida H. Isaacs
Not All Property Is Created Equal: Why Modern Courts Resist Applying The Takings Clause To Patents, And Why They Are Right To Do So, Davida H. Isaacs
Faculty Scholarship
After a century of disregard, the question of whether patents are entitled to protection under the Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause has recently become a topic of scholarly and judicial debate. While one might have expected this issue to have been settled long before, it is only the recent burgeoning of patentholders' regulatory takings claims that has made this question one of pressing interest. Thus far scholarship on the issue has focused on whether or not patents have historically been characterized as property. Meanwhile, last year's rejection by the Federal Circuit of a patentholder's right to assert a Takings Clause claim …
Copyright In An Era Of Information Overload: Toward The Privileging Of Categorizers, Frank Pasquale
Copyright In An Era Of Information Overload: Toward The Privileging Of Categorizers, Frank Pasquale
Faculty Scholarship
Environmental laws are designed to reduce negative externalities (such as pollution) that harm the natural environment. Copyright law should adjust the rights of content creators in order to compensate for the ways they reduce the usefulness of the information environment as a whole. Every new work created contributes to the store of expression, but also makes it more difficult to find whatever work one wants. Such search costs have been well-documented in information economics. Copyright law should take information overload externalities like search costs into account in its treatment of alleged copyright infringers whose work merely attempts to index, organize, …
