Trademark Law On The Internet - Will It Scale? The Challenge To Develop International Trademark Law, 16 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 3 (1997), David W. Maher Jan 1997

Trademark Law On The Internet - Will It Scale? The Challenge To Develop International Trademark Law, 16 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 3 (1997), David W. Maher

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The author states that the rapid growth of the Internet has caused a serious collision between the efficient functioning of Domain Name Systems and the claims of trademark owners. U.S. Courts have recognized that domain names can have trademark implications. Trademarks are important because organizations responsible for allocation and registration of domain names must take trademarks and trademark law into account. The International Trademark Association (INTA) sets forth principles that should apply to the use of trademarks in the Domain Name System. The author's comment focuses on how to accommodate the interests and rights of trademark owners in the DNS …

Orderly Expansion Of The International Top-Level Domains: Concurrent Trademark Users Need A Way Out Of The Internet Trademark Quagmire, 15 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 521 (1997), David B. Nash

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

Organizations that want to conduct business on the Internet have to register with Network Solutions, Inc. (NSI). The Internet was created as a network designed by the Defense Department to test a fail safe network. The National Science Foundation connects to the Internet five supercomputing centers, which connects most public colleges to the Internet. The World Wide Web was the first service that was opened to individuals and for commercial use. Commercial success on the Internet depends on the ease with which consumers can find the organization on-line. If the company has established good will in the public, the company …

Copyright And International Trips Compliance (Symposium: Fifth Annual Conference On International Intellectual Property Law And Policy), Shira Perlmutter, Jerome H. Reichman, Whitmore Gray

Other Publications

MS. PERLMUTTER: We have heard today about copyright in two different regions of the world, in Central and Eastern Europe' and in China. In recent years there has been an increasing convergence in the substance of national laws in different regions of the world. One of the major factors has been the TRIPs Agreement? I will focus on the current efforts toward implementing the TRIPs Agreement, and this will be a procedure-oriented talk.


National Sovereignty And Transnational Problem Solving, Judith H. Bello Dec 1996

National Sovereignty And Transnational Problem Solving, Judith H. Bello

Cardozo Law Review

Many of the most difficult problems that challenge nation states in the increasingly interdependent world do not respect borders: illicit drug trafficking, refugees, illegal immigration, environmental degradation, illegal arms sales, nuclear proliferation, terrorism, bribery, and corruption. Nation states acting alone are helpless to resolve or most effectively alleviate these problems.


The Externalization Of Domestic Regulation: Intellectual Property Rights Reform In A Global Era, Paul N. Doremus Apr 1996

The Externalization Of Domestic Regulation: Intellectual Property Rights Reform In A Global Era, Paul N. Doremus

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

Intellectual property rights (IPR) issues in the software, biotechnology, and semiconductor industries exemplify the pressure that new technologies and international competition are placing on domestic and international regulatory systems. Traditional patent and copyright rules cannot easily accommodate any of these technologies. At the same time, the high costs of research and development, relative ease of replication, and global markets characteristic of these technologies heighten the importance of both domestic and foreign IPR protection. In the context of rapidly changing technological conditions, borderless markets, and inflexible international regimes, national policymakers face a political dilemma: how to accommodate new technologies at home, …

International Copyright: An Unorthodox Analysis American Association Of Law Schools' Intellectual Property Section's Symposium On Compliance With The Trips Agreement, Hugh C. Hansen Jan 1996

International Copyright: An Unorthodox Analysis American Association Of Law Schools' Intellectual Property Section's Symposium On Compliance With The Trips Agreement, Hugh C. Hansen

Faculty Scholarship

Professor Hansen reviews the development of copyright from its traditional domestic orientation to the modern emphasis on globalization and harmonization. His commentary analogizes modem trends in international copyright to religious equivalents. He notes that the current players include a "secular priesthood" (the traditional copyright bar and academics), "agnostics and atheists" (newer academics and lawyers, particularly those concerned with technology and the culture of the public domain) and "missionaries" (whose task it is to increase copyright protection around the world and who are primarily driven by trade considerations). The copyright "crusade" has been driven by this last group. The author compares …


Commentary: The International Intellectual Property Order Enters The 21st Century, Frederick M. Abbott Jan 1996

Commentary: The International Intellectual Property Order Enters The 21st Century, Frederick M. Abbott

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

This Commentary followed presentation of the first two articles in this volume at a meeting on the TRIPS Agreement. The commentator first reflects on the theme of Professor Oddi's article, and suggests that the TRIPS Agreement must be evaluated in the broad context of the Uruguay Round bargain. He observes that the potential economic impact of the TRIPS Agreement on global economic development is of central concern, and that much work remains to be done both in refining economic analysis of the Agreement, and in addressing developmental issues. The commentator then discusses renewed interest in the activities of WIPO, and …

Raise The Yellow Submarine! Subafilms And Extraterritorial Application Of The Copyright Act, Michael T. Crowley Dec 1995

Raise The Yellow Submarine! Subafilms And Extraterritorial Application Of The Copyright Act, Michael T. Crowley

Federal Communications Law Journal

Protecting United States industry from the costs of overseas pirating is complex without an enforceable bilateral copyright agreement. In fact, the U.S. loses billions of dollars to acts of piracy abroad every year. Yet, the Ninth Circuit destroyed a potential check against overseas piracy in Subafilms, Ltd. v. MGM-Pathe Communs. Co. when it ruled that the U.S. Copyright Act does not prohibit piracy abroad. After a discussion of relevant case law surrounding extraterritorial application of the Copyright Act, the Author of this Note criticizes the Subafilms decision and proposes changes to the current language contained in the Copyright Act.

Global Use/Territorial Rights: Private International Law Questions Of The Global Information Infrastructure, Jane C. Ginsburg Jan 1995

Global Use/Territorial Rights: Private International Law Questions Of The Global Information Infrastructure, Jane C. Ginsburg

Faculty Scholarship

In the private international law of intellectual property, and particularly of literary and artistic property, the basic principle is territoriality. Each country provides for its own regime of protection of works of authorship. The Berne Convention for the Protection and Literary and Artistic Works and the Universal Copyright Convention oblige their members to respect the rule of national treatment, that is, of non discrimination between domestic and foreign works from member countries. This rule reinforces the principle of territoriality, for it confirms the role of local copyright laws, by requiring that local law apply equally to the protection of local …

LLM Theses and Essays

All nations have a stake in preserving biodiversity for ethical, medical, and economic reasons.

These agreements should also include internationally accepted standards for the protection of intellectual property rights.

Banning The Cultural Exclusion: Free Trade And Copyrighted Goods, S. I. Strong Oct 1993

Banning The Cultural Exclusion: Free Trade And Copyrighted Goods, S. I. Strong

Faculty Publications

For centuries people have expressed themselves through creative works of art and literature, and since 1557 artists and authors have been able to protect their rights to their creative works through various national copyright laws. National copyright laws basically grant a monopoly in the use of the work to its creator. Copyrighted goods, however, are often easily transported across national boundaries, and thus national copyright laws may provide inadequate copyright protection in the international marketplace. The necessity for international copyright protection has been met to some extent by copyright conventions. International copyright conventions, like national copyright laws, define the scope …
