Title Vi Disparate Impact Claims Would Not Harm National Security - A Response To Paul Taylor, 46 Harv. J. On Legis. 503 (2009), Michael T. Kirkpatrick, Margaret B. Kwoka
UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship
As Paul Taylor recognizes in the previous issue of this volume of the Harvard Journal on Legislation, Congress is considering amendments to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to explicitly allow private plaintiffs to use the disparate impact theory to prove discrimination by recipients of federal financial assistance. This Article responds to Taylor's assertion that allowing such disparate impact claims could harm national security programs. The authors explore the history of the disparate impact theory under both Title VI and Title VII, explain that use of the theory is consistent with Congress's original intent, and argue that …

United States Reexamination Procedures: Recent Trends, Strategies And Impact On Patent Practice, 8 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 381 (2009), Greg H. Gardella, Emily A. Berger
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
Reexamination is playing a significant role in the patent landscape. The United States Patent and Trademark Office is reexamining and invalidating more patent claims than ever before. Potential infringers, aware of this trend, can benefit from reexamination proceedings initiated before, during, and after litigation. Moreover, a prevalent reexamination system benefits both the public and industry. Efficient reexamination enables parties to challenge overly broad patents at a reasonable cost which reduces transaction costs, promoting innovation. Patent holders have responded by crafting narrow claims which fair well before the patent office and in court. The current reexamination trend, if continued, will have …

"Several Healthy Steps Away": New & Improved Products In Section 337 Investigations, 8 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 309 (2009), Steven E. Adkins, John Evans
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
A business that imports “new and improved,” or redesigned, products into the United States should be aware of the procedures available to lessen the risk of violating standing orders of the United States International Trade Commission (“Commission”). In order to ensure that these products gain entry without violating an ITC order and accruing substantial penalties, it is imperative that the business know its options. Whether it requests a Customs ruling or uses a certification, or whether it petitions for an advisory opinion from the Commission, the business must be able to maneuver. This nuts-and-bolts guide provides examples and information on …

Patent Reform Should Not Leave Innovation Behind, 8 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 328 (2009), Carl E. Gulbrandsen, Stephanie Adamany, Sandra Haberny, Jason Sheasby
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
The most recent push for patent reform established competing groups supporting individual agendas. In view of current economic difficulties, however, the focus on innovation should be ever more important. By enacting the Bayh-Dole Act in 1980, the federal government invested in innovation and unlocked American industrial potential through Universities. The current reform has provisions that limit disclosure and facilitate patent challenging which increases costs to inventors and adds responsibilities to an already overloaded patent office. This article addresses a number of the proposed reforms and the effect on University innovation.
Obviousness Before And After Judge Markey, 8 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. (Special Issue) 9 (2009), Mark J. Abate
Obviousness Before And After Judge Markey, 8 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. (Special Issue) 9 (2009), Mark J. Abate
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
Chief Judge Howard T. Markey left an everlasting mark on the meaning of obviousness under 35 U.S.C. § 103. Chief Judge Markey viewed all inventions as combinations of old elements because, in his own words, “Only God works from nothing. Man must work with old elements.” Chief Judge Markey’s obviousness jurisprudence can be characterized by three fundamental principles. First, he looked at an invention as a whole. Second, he looked for real world evidence of nonobviousness because it was a reliable indicator of obviousness. Third, he avoided the dangers of hindsight bias by looking for a reason to combine a …

Sui Generis Genius: How The Design Protection Statute Could Be Amended To Include Entertainment Pitch Ideas, 9 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 184 (2009), Lindsey Weisselberg
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
Hollywood writers and idea men have struggled to gain protection for their entertainment treatments because their works are caught in the realm between unprotected ideas and fully protected expression. In addition to their failure to secure federal copyright protection for their treatments, idea men have also failed to obtain state law protection for their entertainment ideas, leaving them with virtually no legal recourse for idea theft. This comment proposes that Congress should create sui generis protection for ideas in the entertainment industry similar to the protections afforded under the Vessel Hull Design Protection Act.
Dubai's New Intellectual Property-Based Economy: Prospects For Development Without Dependency, 9 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 84 (2009), Amir H. Khoury
Dubai's New Intellectual Property-Based Economy: Prospects For Development Without Dependency, 9 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 84 (2009), Amir H. Khoury
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
The Emirate of Dubai has, as a result of deliberate policy actions, been able to reinvigorate, indeed to reinvent, its Intellectual Property Potential. That is to say Dubai has boosted its ability to be the originator (and creator) of intellectual property subject-matter, rather than merely a consumer thereof. Dubai has achieved the two conditions through which an intellectual property régime becomes a valuable national asset for a country with an initially low Intellectual Property Potential; namely a structured regulatory framework coupled with effective infrastructure- related action. Dubai's undertakings in the intellectual property sphere go to show that even a country …

Northern District Of Illinois Adopts Local Patent Rules, 9 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 202 (2009), Edward D. Manzo, Matthew F. Kennelly
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
The Northern District of Illinois took a proactive step in addressing procedural issues that commonly arise in patent litigation by enacting the Court’s Local Patent Rules. These Rules provide a uniform structure to pretrial procedures in patent cases involving claims of infringement, non-infringement, invalidity, or unenforceability of utility patents. The Rules will enable greater predictability and planning for the Court, counsel, and clients by requiring parties to indentify and focus upon outcome determinative or otherwise significant disputes. This article offers insight on the Rules from two members of the committee of district court judges and experienced lawyers that initially drafted …
“Pay-For-Delay” Settlements In Pharmaceutical Litigation: Drawing A Fine Line Between Patent Zone And Antitrust Zone, 9 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 528 (2009), Yuki Onoe
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
Congress has identified the recent trend of pharmaceutical companies to settle patent litigation under “pay-for-delay” settlements or reverse payment settlements. Under these agreements, a generic maker receives a payment from a brand-name company in exchange for withdrawing the patent challenge and refraining from entering the market until an agreed date. Most courts have rejected antitrust challenges to this practice in view of exclusive rights of patent holders and general benefits from settlements. As part of the health care reform, Congress now proposes to treat “pay-for-delay” settlements as per se illegal and entirely ban the practice. The proposal, however, limits the …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The authors argue that teaching can and should occur even after the fixed-location class has ended. The article suggests that a more portable learning environment would better match the changing world and make legal education more effective. While this notion is not revolutionary in many other educational contexts, it has not had much impact in legal education to date. Yet, with 21st century students ready and willing to receive portable education and the metacognition of learning supporting such venues, portability in legal education is primed for its moment. Additionally, the article points out that accepting portability merely as a part …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Freedom of information legislation is designed to promote access to governmental information. The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act of British Columbia (“BC Act”) is no different. The BC Act views access to governmental information as promoting democracy, transparency, and citizenry, thereby making “public bodies more accountable to the public and…protect[ing] personal privacy by…giving the public a right of access to records” inter alia. The right to access governmental information, however, is not unfettered. There are certain protected instances where the public good may actually be harmed by undue access to governmental information such as policy recommendations developed …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The article notes that the question of what tests courts should use in deciding whether to reveal the identities of anonymous Internet users is unsettled. Part II of the Article discusses the various tests courts have applied in determining whether the identity of an anonymous Internet user should be revealed—including a good-faith test, a summary judgment standard, and a balancing test. Part III analyzes the merits of each test. Finally, Part IV concludes by recommending the appropriate test courts should use in deciding whether to reveal the identities of anonymous Internet users.
Reflection On The Finality Of Panel's Decisions In Domain Name Dispute Resolution Process, With Reference To China's Practice, 26 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 395 (2009), Yun Zhao
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The article notes the importance of looking into the position of Chinese federal courts to deal with cases brought by losing parties against the panel decisions in the administrative arbitration procedure. The author notes that federal courts do not give much consideration to panel decisions. Other problems also tend to arise as to the legal effect of panel decisions. The paper examines these problems, with reference to China’s current court practice. Part II of the paper offers an overview of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (“UDRP”) process, and its rules regarding possible court proceedings. Part III examines China’s …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The Comment analyzes the proposed revisions to United States export regulations contained in the Deemed Export Advisory Committee’s 2007 report. While the Advisory Committee’s work was much needed and its recommendations laudable, this comment discusses why its recommendations must be narrowly tailored in order to preserve the competitiveness of U.S. businesses and universities in the globalizing world and to advance national security. Part II explains the regulations that govern U.S. exports, including the deemed export regulatory regime and how those rules implement a range of national obligations and interests. This Part also discusses the events that threatened to significantly burden …

The comment first provides a brief discussion of genetics and genetic testing. Section II provides a basic introduction to genetics, genetic testing, and genetic discrimination. Additionally, Section II provides a brief overview of current federal laws that address genetic discrimination in the workplace. Finally, Section II also examines the major employment provisions of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 ("GINA"). Section III of the comment examines whether there was a need for GINA, and argues that GINA will not have the full effect intended by Congress. The major sources of litigation under GINA are then reviewed based on the …
