Notes On Misc Re Contract - 1981, Wendy J. Gordon

Scholarship Chronologically

Once there is a patent, voluntarily-accepted user restrictions may not be enforceable. Or, at least, an attempt on the patentee's part to condition access of certain types on obtaining such restrictions, may be impossible. See 30 BNA PTCJ 104 (5/30/85)(Restrictions voided on availability of deposited yeast strains.) Filed under Yeast case.

Lecture Draft On Sensory Recall Device - 1980, Wendy J. Gordon

Scholarship Chronologically

Perception is a bodily function. The brain “sees” according to the orders which the optic nerve relays from its position at the back of the eye. Similarly, it is the brain which also "hears." As we know from our dreaming and our remembering, neither eye nor ear is indispensable to having the sensations of seeing and hearing.

Unfair Competition In Intellectual Products In The Public Domain, Marian R. Nathan

Cleveland State Law Review

A recent Federal District Court case , Grove Press, Inc. v. Collector's Publication, Inc., illustrates another attempt by our judiciary to find its way out of the immense entanglement of copyright infringement in statutory law and unfair competition in common law besetting properties in the public domain. Two 1964 United States Supreme Court decisions have further complicated the positions of both creators and judiciary.

Vanderbilt Law Review

Since there has never been an era in which as much aggregate contemplation has been expended on the problems involved in the protection of literary property, Professor Patterson's book is both timely and important. The issues involved are being widely debated and discussed, but unfortunately much of the current discussion appears to be proceeding more from emotion, oratory, and vested concern than from detached and dispassionate logic. For this reason especially, the scholarly, sound history in Professor Patterson's new monograph is certain to be welcome, as it cuts through four centuries of continuing obfuscation and confusion and clarifies considerably the …

Statutory Protection Of Intellectual Property Rights, Richard G. Smith

Cleveland State Law Review

As intellectual property is an intangible, its identification and protection under legal process provides peculiar problems. Presently, intellectual property is protected primarily by statutory provisions, as the methods provided by common law have inherent frailty. For exemplary purposes, this exposition will be concerned solely with the problems arising from the domain of invention and discovery and the application of the provisions of the patent laws.

Disclosure Of Specific Types Of Ideas: Misappropriation, Homer C. Mcrae

Cleveland State Law Review

Normal procedure in attempting sale of a valuable idea is for the claimant to offer his idea for sale to the recipient who usually will refuse to buy it until disclosure. Then, after disclosure, the recipient may or may not promise to pay for the idea if he uses it. In either case, the recipient may use the idea later, perhaps in a modified form, and refuse to compensate the claimant.

Suggestion Box Systems, Esther Weissman

Cleveland State Law Review

The employee "suggestion box" has become a common feature of American enterprise. Its use is simple and beneficial. An employee writes an idea on a blank form conveniently made available in his work area and drops his suggestion into a box provided for such suggestions. Many legal questions arise in connection with suggestion systems. But there has been little litigation in this field so far, probably because of the small scale nature of most of the claims which develop as a result of such suggestions. But with the rapid expansion of suggestion systems, more attention will be given to their …

Borderland - Where Copyright And Design Patent Meet, Richard W. Pogue

Michigan Law Review

Copyright law and design patent law contemplate basically different objects of protection. Yet at the outer fringes of these types of protection certain concepts overlap to form a rather undefined borderland in which it is difficult to say what law is applicable-copyright law, patent law, neither, or both. It is the purpose of this paper to explore this borderland area in the light of traditional copyright and patent law principles, with attention given to policy considerations involved, and to offer suggestions toward drawing a sharper boundary between the two.
