Setting The Standard: Problems Presented To Patent Holders Participating In The Creation Of Industry Uniformity Standards, David M. Schneck Jan 1998

Setting The Standard: Problems Presented To Patent Holders Participating In The Creation Of Industry Uniformity Standards, David M. Schneck

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

This Note examines the problems that arise when the owner of proprietary rights participate in the setting of open industry uniformity standards. These open standards typically include patented technology, sometimes due to the participation of the patent owners in developing the industry standard. Often, standards development committees require disclosure of patents held by participants. After widespread adoption of the standard occurs, the patent owners then face the dilemma of either abandoning some part of their patents or attempting to enforce their patents in courts inclined to hold them estopped. This Note discusses recent developments in this area, including judicial hostility …

Jazzing Up The Copyright Act - Resolving The Uncertainties Of The United States Anti-Bootleggin Law, Susan M. Deas Jan 1998

Jazzing Up The Copyright Act - Resolving The Uncertainties Of The United States Anti-Bootleggin Law, Susan M. Deas

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

With the addition of Section 1101 to United States copyright law, the United States Congress did more than just attempt to bring United States law into compliance with its obligations under TRIPs. By allowing live musical performers to seek remedies against anyone who, without performers' consent, commits Section 1101 subject acts, such as fixation of the sounds or sounds and images of the performers' live musical performance, Congress granted a type of protection of well-nigh constitutional significance. That is, Congress granted protection to unfixed material-an enactment that departs from the traditional interpretation of the Copyright Clause power as permitting congressional …

Licensed To Kill: The Battle Between Patent And Antitrust In Monopoly Leveraging Cases, David A. Schnider Jan 1998

Licensed To Kill: The Battle Between Patent And Antitrust In Monopoly Leveraging Cases, David A. Schnider

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

This note puts a new spin on a longstanding subject of scholarship and controversy in the law: the conflict between the patent and antitrust laws in the United States. The author examines this conflict in the context of monopoly leveraging cases. Since patents are a unique and powerful tool that companies use to gain advantage in the marketplace, they seem to allow the owner to engage in behavior which amounts to monopoly leveraging. However, such conduct is prohibited under the antitrust laws, specifically by Section 2 of the Sherman Act. If a patent exists to give its owner certain commercial …

Type No Evil: The Proper Latitude Of Public Educational Institutions In Restricting Expressions Of Their Students On The Internet, Garner K. Weng Jan 1998

Type No Evil: The Proper Latitude Of Public Educational Institutions In Restricting Expressions Of Their Students On The Internet, Garner K. Weng

UC Law SF Communications and Entertainment Journal

In this article, Mr. Weng discusses the growing problem of regulation and suppression by academic institutions of offensive or political communications transmitted by students over the Internet. The article explores the traditional powers of schools to regulate student communication and attempts to define what types of regulations are legally permissible. The article also examines the cases which do not fall into this traditional category, which are subject to a standard First Amendment analysis, and argues that the fact that this conduct involves Internet communications does not require a different standard than is used for other forms of media communication. Mr. …

The Attorney-Client Privilege And The Work-Product Doctrine In Michigan, D. A. Celphane, Barbara Mcquade, Leonard Niehoff, Daniel P. Malone Jan 1998

The Attorney-Client Privilege And The Work-Product Doctrine In Michigan, D. A. Celphane, Barbara Mcquade, Leonard Niehoff, Daniel P. Malone

Books

In Upjohn Co v. United States, the United States Supreme Court acknowledged that the attorney-client privilege - the "oldest of the privileges for confidential communications known to the common law" - has the crucial purpose of "encourag[ing] full and frank communication between attorneys and their clients and thereby promote[s] broader public interests in the observance of law and administration of justice." Similarly, in Hickman v Taylor, the Court stressed the importance of the work-product doctrine, noting that "[n]ot even the most liberal of discovery theories can justify unwarranted inquiries into the files and the mental impressions of an attorney." …

New Zealand Trustee Investing: Reflecting On Modern Portfolio Theory And The Ancient Distinction Of Principal And Income, F. Philip Manns Jr. Jan 1998

New Zealand Trustee Investing: Reflecting On Modern Portfolio Theory And The Ancient Distinction Of Principal And Income, F. Philip Manns Jr.

Faculty Publications and Presentations

The New Zealand Trustee Amendment Act 1988 led the common law world in encouraging (perhaps requiring) trustees to use modern portfolio theory ("MPT") techniques when investing trust funds. A recent High Court decision essentially held that trustees should have engaged in MPT-based investment since 1972. Full integration of MPT principles into trust law affects many areas of trust administration, perhaps most prominently the ancient distinction of principal and income. In addition, renewed attention to careful drafting of a settler's investment and payout intentions and greater investment diversification are likely consequences of MPT-based trust investing.

Report Of The Special Commission To Study The Alteration Of The Pension System For New Employees Jan 1998

Report Of The Special Commission To Study The Alteration Of The Pension System For New Employees

Library Archive

Attached you will find the Report of the Special Commission to study the Alteration of the Pension System for New Employees. In the end the Commission realized that major changes to the system would not yield large savings. On the other hand, it was also found that the current system is significantly different from both private plans and other state plans. While the benefits to career employees are generous, the plan is less attractive to employees who wish to work for the state only during a portion of their career. Given changes in the workforce generally, and the need to …
