Confusing Patent Eligibility, David O. Taylor Jan 2016

Confusing Patent Eligibility, David O. Taylor

Tennessee Law Review

Patent law-and in particular the law governing patent eligibility-is in a state of crisis. This crisis is one of profound confusion. Confusion exists because the current approach to determining patent eligibility confuses the relevant policies underlying numerous discrete patent law doctrines, and because the current approach lacks administrability. Ironically, the result of all this confusion is seemingly clear. The result seems to be that, when challenged, patent applications and issued patents in certain technology areas probably do not satisfy the requirement of eligibility-at least that is the perception. A resulting concern, therefore, is that the current environment substantially reduces incentives …

Uncertainty And Reverse Payments, Ramsi A. Woodcock Jan 2016

Uncertainty And Reverse Payments, Ramsi A. Woodcock

Tennessee Law Review

The current approach to "reverse payment" settlements of drug patent litigation seeks to preclude only those settlements guaranteed to harm consumers, rather than all that could harm them. Antitrust tolerates the possibility of harm in order to give firms the freedom to make settlements that might benefit consumers, relative to what courts would achieve under patent law. Antitrust's mission is not, however, to improve upon outcomes under patent law, but rather to prevent harm to consumers. Accordingly, antitrust must minimize the possibility of harm, even if that precludes the chance of gain. I show that a ban on all settlements …

Unconstitutional Quartering, Governmental Immunity, And Van Halen's Brown M&M Test, Tom W. Bell Jan 2015

Unconstitutional Quartering, Governmental Immunity, And Van Halen's Brown M&M Test, Tom W. Bell

Tennessee Law Review

The jurisprudence of the Third Amendment, which limits the quartering of troops in private homes, effectively consists of just one case: Engblom v. Carey.' But what a case! In addition to showcasing an unjustly neglected corner of our constitutional heritage, Engblom demonstrates the troubling effects of a dubious legal doctrine: governmental immunity. Though the court of appeals had held New York officials potentially liable for violating the Third Amendment when they had quartered National Guard troops in the dormitory rooms of striking prison guards, the lower court on remand in Engblom denied the plaintiffs a remedy. Why? Because throughout the …

A Word On The Third: Three Approaches To The Third Amendment's Place In Constitutional Rhetoric, Gabriel Latner

Tennessee Law Review

"War is not a courtesy but the most horrible thing in life; and we ought to understand that, and not play at war. We ought to accept this terrible necessity sternly and seriously."

"[The Constitutional Amendment prohibiting forced quartering except in times of] War, (ooh, yeah, good God y'all), what is it good for?"

- War & Peace by Leo Tolstoy and Edwin Starr

The Marrying Kind, Zachary Herz Jan 2015

The Marrying Kind, Zachary Herz

Tennessee Law Review

We are living in a Constitutional moment. In the span of half a century, LGBT people have been cast out, tolerated, accepted, and finally celebrated: In time with that shift, same-sex marriage has gone from absurdity, to threat, to fundamental right. This Article queries the links between those two processes and their potential implications for constitutional anti-discrimination law more broadly.

Specifically, this Article considers two features of equal protection jurisprudence that have entered into strange, silent conflict: the discriminatory purpose doctrine established in Washington v. Davis and Personnel Administrator of Massachusetts v. Feeney, and the tendency of courts to treat …

On Free, Harmful, And Hateful Speech, Ronald Turner Jan 2015

On Free, Harmful, And Hateful Speech, Ronald Turner

Tennessee Law Review

Judicially recognized and relatively unobjectionable and uncontroversial exceptions to the coverage and protection of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution are grounded, in part, on affirmative answers to the question whether certain speech creates or could create actual or potential harms to, and result in negative consequences for, individuals and societal interests. This article, focusing on speech-related harm and, more specifically, the speech-related harms of hate speech, makes a descriptive claim and poses a normative question. The descriptive claim: Assessment of harm has long been a feature of the United States Supreme Court's free speech jurisprudence and decisions …


Judicial Doctrine As Risk Regulation, Brannon P. Denning, Michael B. Kent Jr. Jan 2015

Judicial Doctrine As Risk Regulation, Brannon P. Denning, Michael B. Kent Jr.

Tennessee Law Review

Much of the literature on risk regulation concerns "first-order" risks--e.g., those addressed by environmental law or workplace safety rules. But scholars recently have suggested that risk regulation can provide a helpful framework for thinking about "second-order," or political, risks arising from allocations of power and institutional design. Although a few commentators have utilized this perspective to suggest connections between risk regulation and particular areas of constitutional law, in this essay we take a broader view. Building on the existing literature, we argue that the selection of constitutional decision rules is a judicial effort to regulate the political risk that government …
