Legal Responses To Commercial Transactions Employing Novel Communications Media, John Robinson Thomas
Legal Responses To Commercial Transactions Employing Novel Communications Media, John Robinson Thomas
Michigan Law Review
This Note analyzes contemporary business practices and specific characteristics of the new media, and suggests a judicial response consonant with courts' approaches to the earlier technologies of telegraphy and teletype. Part I examines the effect of the Statute of Frauds and rules of authentication upon contracts formed using these media. It concludes that documents produced by telefacsimile and electronic mail systems should be considered ordinary writings. Part II considers the Best Evidence Rule and argues that telefacsimiles and electronic mail transmissions should be considered the best evidence of the contract they memorialize. Part III evaluates doctrines of liability allocation in …
Criminal Liability For Misconduct In Scientific Research, Susan M. Kuzma
Criminal Liability For Misconduct In Scientific Research, Susan M. Kuzma
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Article will explore our society's attitude to prosecuting scientific misconduct, the need to consider prosecution in such cases, and the utility of current statutes available for prosecution. To assist the reader in understanding the issues, this Article will provide some background information about misconduct in scientific research and will include a discussion of some specific incidents. These background materials provide a context for my argument that criminal sanctions should be available to punish scientific misconduct. Finally, I propose a federal criminal statute designed specifically for prosecuting scientific misconduct.

It Walks Like A Duck, Talks Like A Duck, . . . But Is It A Duck? Making Sense Of Substantial Similarity Law As It Applies To User Interfaces , Ellen M. Bierman
It Walks Like A Duck, Talks Like A Duck, . . . But Is It A Duck? Making Sense Of Substantial Similarity Law As It Applies To User Interfaces , Ellen M. Bierman
Seattle University Law Review
This Comment recommends how courts should apply the substantial similarity analysis to user interfaces. Specifically, this Comment (1) delineates the state of the law in the Ninth Circuit and explains how the recent changes should be interpreted with respect to user interfaces; (2) establishes an analytic framework for evaluating proposed substantial similarity tests through the enumeration of a set of goals specific to user interfaces; and (3) uses this analytic framework to evaluate and endorse a test that applies traditional copyright doctrine to a logical and consistent manner.
Telecommunications Regulatory Implications For International Edi Transactions, Aileen A. Pisciotta, James H. Barker
Telecommunications Regulatory Implications For International Edi Transactions, Aileen A. Pisciotta, James H. Barker
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
This article provides a general introduction to various telecommunications regulatory issues that should be included in the "calculus" of domestic and international EDI transactions. Part II places EDI generally within the broader context of telecommunications "value added" services, introducing the operational relationship between EDI and telecommunications networks, and the manner in which EDI services may be influenced by global telecommunications regulatory schemes. Particular emphasis is placed upon the United States as a "case study," in order to provide a familiar baseline from which to touch upon broader issues attending the international provision of EDI and other value added services.
European Harmonization Of Data Protection Laws Threatens U.S. Participation In Trans Border Data Flow, George B. Trubow
European Harmonization Of Data Protection Laws Threatens U.S. Participation In Trans Border Data Flow, George B. Trubow
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
We are in the midst of "Europe '92," the year when the European Community (EC) is to take on new shape and substance as it seeks transformation to economic and political strategies intended to enhance its position in international trade and commerce. With respect to matters of information processing and transborder data flow, the Council of Europe has prepared a draft directive concerning privacy and security regarding personal information (Privacy Directive). That draft, under consideration by the member states, is of great importance to the rest of the world since it contemplates that EC members will not exchange information with …
International Regulation And Control Of The Production And Use Of Chemicals And Pesticides: Perspectives For A Convention, Hans-Wolfgang Micklitz
International Regulation And Control Of The Production And Use Of Chemicals And Pesticides: Perspectives For A Convention, Hans-Wolfgang Micklitz
Michigan Journal of International Law
A wide variety of instruments and mechanisms for the regulation and control of chemicals and pesticides is already available internationally. What is missing is an analysis that attempts to systematize the different approaches, to create transparency, to define where they overlap, and to discover prospective deficiencies and shortcomings. In order to accomplish this task, this article covers legally binding rules as well as recommendations and codes - the international soft law. The overall purpose is to outline a framework for future international regulation of chemicals and pesticides and to propose an international convention as a possible solution.
Above All, Do No Harm: The Application Of The Exon-Florio Amendment To Dual-Use Technologies, Gerald T. Nowak
Above All, Do No Harm: The Application Of The Exon-Florio Amendment To Dual-Use Technologies, Gerald T. Nowak
Michigan Journal of International Law
In support of this proposition, this Note will first examine the legislative history and executive enforcement of the Exon-Florio Amendment, followed by a discussion of the goals of Exon-Florio and the applicability of Exon-Florio to dual-use technologies. Then, after an examination of the attitudes and experience of the European Community with regards to such protectionism, specifically in France and the United Kingdom, this Note will argue that vigorous enforcement of the Exon-Florio Amendment, and a fortiori passage of the Technology Preservation Act, is likely to result in less, not more, domestic production of dual-use technologies. As a matter of defense …
Electronic Data Interchange Agreements: Private Contracting Toward A Global Environment, Amelia H. Boss
Electronic Data Interchange Agreements: Private Contracting Toward A Global Environment, Amelia H. Boss
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
With the growth in the use of electronic communications technologies to communicate important business and trade information, the size of the earth, although it may remain at the present 7,900 miles in diameter, is rapidly shrinking. In a matter of seconds, commercial trade data can be exchanged between parties thousands of miles apart, leading to the establishment of new business relationships. In the emerging new global economy, data, information, goods, and services are being exchanged internationally. No longer are parties to a commercial transaction bound by artificial national boundaries with their accompanying sets of domestic legal rules. Over the past …

Defining International Electronic Commerce, Jeffrey B. Ritter
Defining International Electronic Commerce, Jeffrey B. Ritter
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Electronic commerce has become a practical reality for thousands of businesses throughout the world. By combining the functional capabilities of computers and telecommunication systems, companies can now exchange information electronically rather than sending and receiving paper documents. In so doing, businesses are achieving remarkable and unparalleled improvements in the accuracy, speed and efficiency with which commercial transactions may be negotiated, confirmed and performed. By eliminating reliance upon paper as the medium through which commerce occurs, new and radically different approaches are emerging regarding how commercial relationships are defined and maintained. Used for international business transactions, the technologies of electronic commerce …
Proprietary Aspects Of Commercial Remote-Sensing Imagery, Patrick A. Salin
Proprietary Aspects Of Commercial Remote-Sensing Imagery, Patrick A. Salin
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
This remote-sensing imagery copyright issue will be addressed in two parts: First, the specific aspects of remote-sensing imagery will be assessed in terms of international protection as compared to other space activities having a literary or intellectual content, with a direct and immediate commercial impact. Second, the specific copyright provisions of several bilateral agreements will be scrutinized in a comparative approach and the merits of each of them will be assessed against those of the others. The terms "pictures" and "signals" will be used indistinc- tively in order to identify the same physical elements, i.e. the bits or information elements …
