Lessons For The Hague: Internet Jurisdiction In Contract And Tort Cases In The European Community And The United States, 23 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 1 (2004), Moritz Keller

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

With the increasing use of the Internet, all on-line users, web site owners, e-commerce companies and consumers alike, feel the need to be able to rely on clear standards for a potential contract or tort lawsuit following the Internet presence that could lead to multinational litigation. This goal could be achieved if the negotiations of the Hague Convention on international jurisdiction and enforcement of foreign judgments in civil and commercial matters succeed in harmonizing the rules of the different legal systems around the globe, or at least create a minimum standard for legal cases which would benefit greatly e-commerce and …

Rock And Roll Royalties, Copyrights And Contracts Of Adhesion: Why Musicians May Be Chasing Waterfalls, 1 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 163 (2001), Starr Nelson

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law

Copyrights form the basis of every recording contract. When a recording artist signs his or her first recording contract, the artist retains the copyright in the musical work but transfers ownership of the sound recording to the record company. With respect to any subsequent recording contract, the artist is not on equal bargaining footing with the record company because the record company already owns certain copyrights in the previous recording. This Comment proposes that courts recognize this unequal bargaining power when construing what is, in effect, a contract of adhesion.

The Implied Warranty Of Merchantability In Software Contracts: A Warranty No One Dares To Give And How To Change That, 16 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 393 (1998), Robert W. Gomulkiewicz Jan 1998

The Implied Warranty Of Merchantability In Software Contracts: A Warranty No One Dares To Give And How To Change That, 16 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 393 (1998), Robert W. Gomulkiewicz

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

Software publishers disclaim the implied warranty of merchantability because the repercussions of recognizing such warranties are unknown. The purpose underlying implied warranties of merchantability is to ensure that the consumer is receiving a product that meets a minimal standard of consumer expectation; however, this threshold is difficult to measure when attempting to measure consumer expectation of computer software. The proposed U.C.C. Article 2B seeks to remedy this problem by removing some of the ambiguity. The implied warranty of merchantability had its genesis in the English commodities markets. As an action in tort, the implied warranty of merchantability protected a buyer …

Decloaking Development Contracts, 16 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 403 (1998), Micalyn S. Harris

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

Proposed Article 2B seeks to minimize the conflict between the software developer and a client as to whether the contract is for goods or services. If the contract is for goods, then the client would receive the protection of a buyer under Article 2 of the U.C.C. If the contract is for services, then Article 2 does not apply and the relationship is governed by contract and common law principles. Proposed Article 2B will resolve this conflict by recognizing that development contracts are a mixture of goods and services and will also seek to provide default rules. Section 2B-617(b) of …

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

This Article is organized along the following lines. Part I is a general discussion of the Convention. It includes a factual background, a discussion of principle provisions of the Convention, a description of the temporal and geographical spheres of application of the Convention. Part one also suggests the use of available tools for uniform application; and brings the topic of dissemination of interpretation of the Convention up to date. Although article 7 of the Convention generally states an approach to interpretation, further elucidation is necessary to ensure uniformity of application. Accordingly, Part II discusses the various approaches to treaty interpretation …
