Ibm V. Comdisco: Are Modified 3090 Computers Counterfeit?, 13 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 93 (1994), Amy J. Grason

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

This casenote discusses the recent settlement between IBM and Comdisco where IBM sued Comdisco and three other independent brokers to restrict the leasing of modified IBM equipment. Specifically, IBM argued that the reconfiguring of its IBM 3090 by the defendants violated IBM’s trademark rights. The note discusses how IBM denied the authenticity of the modified IBM 3090’s. The author argues that the sale or lease of trademarked products, which have been altered but which are so identified cannot, as a matter of law, violate trademark rights. The author further states that by allowing manufacturers to disavow their own products is …

Brown V. Iowa Legislative Council: Struggling With The Application Of The Freedom Of Information Act To Computerized Government Records, 13 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 123 (1994), Elizabeth M. Dillon

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

In 1996, Congress passed the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to promote public access of information held by the federal government. Consequently, fifty states followed the lead by passing similar statutes providing public access to information held by state governments. While FOIA statutes facilitates the dissemination of information, the use of "records" in the statutes proves to be problematic in this computer age. Part of the accessible records is the information of redistricting of the states, a federal constitutional requirement on the states every ten years. In the Brown v. Iowa Legislative Council, plaintiff sought to gain access to the …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

Computer animation is the newest tool to turn up in courtrooms around the country in the area of demonstrative evidence. These animations create a virtual reality that lawyers can use to demonstrate objects, situations, or acts to juries -- objects, situations, and acts that would otherwise be difficult for a group of people to completely appreciate or understand through more traditional evidnetiary means. Recent technological advancements mean that this three-dimensional virtual reality can make quite an impact on a jury or judge, without making too great an impact on client's budgets. Computer animation and the various types of virtual reality …

Security Requirements And Evidentiary Issues In The Interchange Of Electronic Documents: Steps Toward Developing A Security Policy, 12 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 425 (1993), Peter N. Weiss

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

As the business world turns from using paper to electronic documents, the security aspects of electronic documents must be examined. No law has dealt with the security of electronic documents. Therefore, guidelines for assessing the relative security of an electronic document compared to its paper counterpart is essential to the continuing success of the electronic document in the business world. Aspects of the legal admissibility of electronic documents follow that of traditional paper documents. A finding that a document, paper or electronic, is genuine and reliable allows it to pass the scrutiny of legal admissibility. In order to prove a …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

This article examines the issues surrounding software copyright protection and the problem of inconsistent court analysis across the country. After reviewing the problems particular to software copyright, the author recommends a new course of court analysis that would bring consistent analysis and decisions to this growing area of law. Courts have begun to examine the scope of protection the Copyright Act grants to computer software beyond the literal text of the software's programming language. Two classifications for computer programs have developed: literal, which focuses on the actual text of the program, and non-literal, which is concerned with organization, structure and …
