The Rodney King Beating: Beyond Fair Use: A Broadcaster's Right To Air Copyrighted Videotape As Part Of A Newscast, 13 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 269 (1995), Leslie Ann Reis
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
This article discusses the copyright implications of news broadcasters using videotape and other images in their newscasts. News broadcasters obtain audio and video materials for use in their broadcasts, and on most occasions they obtain these materials from a variety of sources. The broadcaster cannot infringe on the copyright of the news source unless given permission by the source or decide to use it under the Fair Use Doctrine. However, a newscaster may also use the copyrighted material under a possible exception created by the First Amendment right to freedom of the press. The law that provides a creator with …

In Re Warmerdam: When Is A Software Process Too Abstract To Merit Patent Protection?, 13 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 667 (1995), Steven M. Santisi
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Unlike many foreign countries, the United States does not have an explicit rule that defines software as unpatentable subject matter. Despite the United States’ leadership position in patent protection, U.S. case law defining patentatble subject matter has evolved slowly and painfully. The legal controversy restricting software patentability stems from the principle that abstract ideas are not patentable. The Patent and Trademark Office remains uncomfortable in granting patents for inventions ideally embodied as software. Inventors’ attorneys continue to test these boundaries and the PTO continues to reject patent applications for software inventions based on the grounds that they constitute non-statutory subject …
Revising The Copyright Law For Electronic Publishing, 14 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 1 (1995), David J. Loundy
Revising The Copyright Law For Electronic Publishing, 14 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 1 (1995), David J. Loundy
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The Copyright Act has historically been amended to address technological changes. The Act has been shaped to apply to new situations not previously considered by the original authors. Rather than pass a new Copyright Act to address computer programs and technology, the current Act should be repaired. The changes made to the Copyright Act as a result of the CONTU report provide some necessary updating to the Act, but the increasing use of computer technology is demanding additional refinements to the Copyright Act. In order to amend the Copyright Act with the least amount of disruption, the definition of a …
Computers, Copyright And Substantial Similarity: The Test Reconsidered, 14 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 47 (1995), Jeffrey D. Coulter
Computers, Copyright And Substantial Similarity: The Test Reconsidered, 14 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 47 (1995), Jeffrey D. Coulter
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Courts focus on the Substantial Similarity test to determine copyright infringement. They also use testimony from experts and lay people. As a result, there is a tension between preserving artist’s rights and preserving a competitive market. This tension is especially problematic in the context of copyright protection of computer software. Nonetheless, copyright law does protect computer software. Resulting amendments in the Copyright Act defined "computer program" and ensured that copyright protection was extended to all computer programs. The Substantial Similarity test applied to computer programs creates several concerns. Lack of access to expert testimony in the crucial second phase of …
Reverse Engineering And The Rise Of Electronic Vigilantism: Intellectual Property Implications Of "Lock-Out" Programs, Julie E. Cohen
Reverse Engineering And The Rise Of Electronic Vigilantism: Intellectual Property Implications Of "Lock-Out" Programs, Julie E. Cohen
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Over the past few years, there has been an abundance of scholarship dealing with the appropriate scope of copyright and patent protection for computer programs. This Article approaches those problems from a slightly different perspective, focusing on the discrete problem of lock-out programs. The choice of lock-out as a paradigm for exploring the interoperability question and the contours of copyright and patent protection of computer programs is informed by two considerations. First, for purposes of the interoperability inquiry, lock-out programs represent an extreme; they are discrete, self-contained modules that are highly innovative in design, yet that serve no purpose other …

The University Community: Pursuit Of The Promise Of The New Media, Georgia K. Harper
Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal
I would like to convey a sense of the university community's needs regarding the development of the National Information Infrastructure ("NII") by examining the following points: (1) experimental projects involving users and producers of information, in our case, libraries and publishers, should play a crucial role in defining the new rules of the road; (2) fair use is a necessary backdrop to such experimentation, but it may become less important in the future; and (3) certain principles which will lay the foundation for the exchange of electronic information as well as guide the development of the NII must be enumerated …
Opinion Letter As To The Patentability Of Certain Inventions Associated With The Identification Of Partial Cdna Sequences, Rebecca S. Eisenberg, Robert P. Merges
Opinion Letter As To The Patentability Of Certain Inventions Associated With The Identification Of Partial Cdna Sequences, Rebecca S. Eisenberg, Robert P. Merges
Articles
You have asked for our legal opinion on the patentability of inventions claimed in U.S. patent applications 07/716,831, filed June 21, 1991 (the '831 application, or .'831"), 07/837,195, filed September 25, 1992 ("'195"), and 07/952,911, filed February 12, 1993 (."911"), all filed in the name of Craig Venter and others and assigned to the National Institutes of Health "(NIH)." We understand that NIH has abandoned these patent applications and has no present intention of filing similar applications in the future, but that NIH remains interested in the patenting of human DNA sequences from a broader public policy perspective. We have …

Reply To Comments On The Patentability Of Certain Inventions Associated With The Identification Of Partial Cdna Sequences, Rebecca S. Eisenberg, Robert P. Merges
Articles
A brief reply is in order to clarify our position on the patenting of research tools. We stand by the statement that "there are reasons to be wary of patents on research tools," but that statement should not be understood as a broad condemnation of patents on research tools in all contexts. Indeed, immediately after the cited language our opinion letter acknowledges that withholding patent protection from research tools could undermine private incentives to develop research tools and to make them available to investigators or lead to greater reliance on trade secrecy. Unlike the government, which purports to pursue patent …
The Wright Enabling Disclosure For Biotechnology Patents, Karen S. Canady
The Wright Enabling Disclosure For Biotechnology Patents, Karen S. Canady
Washington Law Review
The disclosure in a patent specification must enable others to make and use the claimed invention. In the competitive biotechnology industry, companies often seek broad claims to protect contemplated embodiments of their inventions that have not yet been reduced to practice. In In re Wright, the Federal Circuit recently challenged this approach when it upheld the rejection, for lack of enablement, of all but the narrowest claims to a vaccine genetically engineered to protect against retroviruses. This decision unreasonably elevates the established standard for enablement by limiting biotechnological patent protection to only those embodiments of a claimed invention whose success …

§ 117 - The Right To Adapt Into The Fourth Generation And The Source Code Generator's Dilemma, 12 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 537 (1994), Marvin N. Benn, Richard J. Superfine
§ 117 - The Right To Adapt Into The Fourth Generation And The Source Code Generator's Dilemma, 12 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 537 (1994), Marvin N. Benn, Richard J. Superfine
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
Section 117, of The Copyright Act of 1976, which regulates the copying of a computer software program by an authorized or registered user, serves as an exception or defense to an allegation of software infringement. This exception is grounded in the concept that an individual who lawfully purchases a computer software program should have the right to copy that program to some extent. However, courts have not developed a uniform approach to analyzing Section 117. This paper offers a union of tests used individually by courts to resolve this problem of legal inconsistency. The courts have developed a three-step approach …
The Copyright And Trade Secret Protection Of Communication Software: Placing A Lock On Interoperability, 13 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 17 (1994), Steven N. Dupont
The Copyright And Trade Secret Protection Of Communication Software: Placing A Lock On Interoperability, 13 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 17 (1994), Steven N. Dupont
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The author argues that courts must take into account industry demands for interoperable computer products in determining the proper scope of protection enjoyed by computer software. Part II of the article discusses the technical aspects of a communications software system in the context of a hypothetical software developer. Part III of the article analyzes how compatibility concerns affect the determination of the proper scope of copyright and trade secret protection. Part IV of the article gives an overview of the anti-trust concerns in light of the current debate surrounding interoperability. The article concludes that economically adequate legal protection for communications …
Has The Computer Changed The Law?, 13 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 43 (1994), David C. Tunick
Has The Computer Changed The Law?, 13 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 43 (1994), David C. Tunick
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The computer has caused changes to over forty areas of the law. While not exhaustive, the areas of law examined in this article show that computers have caused certain areas of the law to evolve while others remain virtually unchanged. Computer use has not changed in the area of commercial law. Computer contracts can involve hardware, software or services. Whether the Uniform Commercial Code applies to acquisitions has been the subject of much litigation turning on whether the software is canned or custom. Courts analyze the custom software cases under existing tests including the "dominant element" test, the "end product …
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
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 …
Limiting The Role Of Patents In Technology Transfer, Rebecca S. Eisenberg
Limiting The Role Of Patents In Technology Transfer, Rebecca S. Eisenberg
Other Publications
Federal policy since 1980 has reflected an increasingly confident presumption that patenting discoveries made in the course of government-sponsored research is the most effective way to promote technology transfer and commercial development of those discoveries in the private sector. Policymakers in the past may have thought that the best way to achieve widespread use of government-sponsored research was to make the results freely available to the public; the new pro-patent policy stresses the need for exclusive rights as an incentive for industry to invest in bringing new products to market.

A Technology Policy Perspective On The Nih Gene Patenting Controversy, Rebecca S. Eisenberg
Articles
This article will use the NIH patent controversy as a focal point for considering when the results of government-sponsored research should be patented and when they should be dedicated to the public domain. First, this article will review the recent history of federal government policy on patenting the results of government-sponsored research. Next, this article will highlight some of the complexities involved in achieving technology transfer from the public sector to the private sector that current policy may oversimplify. With this background, this article will return to a more detailed analysis of the NIH cDNA patenting controversy and consider the …

The Best Mode Requirement In United States Patent Practice In 1993, 12 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 353 (1993), Kenneth R. Adamo
UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
This article discusses the best mode requirement set forth in section 112 of the United States Patent Act. This requirement is unique to United States patent law and must be satisfied by every utility patent application filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This article then discusses how decisions of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit have helped clarify and refine the best mode requirement and its application to patents in the field of computer technology (i.e., In re Hayes Microcomputer Products). Then it discusses how these holdings have made this already difficult area …

An Analysis That Is Not "Ad Hoc": The Bifurcated Uniform Analysis That The Federal Courts Should Follow To Determine Computer Program Copyright Nonliteral Infringement, 12 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 485 (1993), Michael J. Bendel
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 …
Chinese Traditions Inimical To The Patent Law, The Symposium: Doing Business In China, Liwei Wang
Chinese Traditions Inimical To The Patent Law, The Symposium: Doing Business In China, Liwei Wang
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
These phenomena remind us of a common view that China's modernization of science and technology is "burdened by a number of constraints, primarily constraints in traditional culture and in the Marxist-Leninist one-party state." 5 More specifically, in discussing the patent law of the People's Republic of China (PRO), Beaumont claimed that the "two-fold problem in stimulating innovation" is "a residual mistrust of innovation as a result of years of foreign imperialistic colonization," and of "finding ways to encourage and reward innovation which are congruent with Marxist thought."6 This article asserts that China's traditional culture is probably as inimical to patent …
Protecting Biodiversity: Recognizing International Intellectual Property Rights In Plant Genetic Resources, Rebecca L. Margulies
Protecting Biodiversity: Recognizing International Intellectual Property Rights In Plant Genetic Resources, Rebecca L. Margulies
Michigan Journal of International Law
Accelerating deforestation in many tropical countries with the concomitant loss of plant species diversity incites increasing international concern. Until very recently, international environmental law tended to regard natural plant species as a "common heritage," a universal resource immune to private property claims. This common heritage approach to the problem of biodiversity loss has left the majority of plant species in a jurisprudential void, unprotected by property rights and subject to conflicting claims by countries with divergent goals. Unrelieved economic pressures force impoverished peoples in species-rich developing nations to resort to activities that ravage the forests, and the tragedy of biodiversity …
