Plight Of The American Innovator, David R. Soucy Feb 2025

Plight Of The American Innovator, David R. Soucy

Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property

The American innovator is at risk. Our U.S. patent system unfortunately favors the speculators over the innovators. In the fight against questionable patent suits brought by non-practicing entities (i.e., patent trolls), those disagreements have become a one-sided affair in favor of the investor. This unjust circumstance arises due to the immunity patent trolls have from the innovator’s patents. A frustrating predicament for an innovator who has often made substantial investments in protecting his or her technology that go for naught in a dispute with an entity who does not put products into the stream of commerce. Now § 285 of …

Warner Chappel Music, Inc. V. Nealy And The Copyright Act's Statute Of Limitations, Tyler T. Ochoa Feb 2025

Warner Chappel Music, Inc. V. Nealy And The Copyright Act's Statute Of Limitations, Tyler T. Ochoa

Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property

The U.S. Copyright Act’s statute of limitations is unremarkable. Nonetheless, disputes concerning the interpretation and application of this statute have sufficiently vexed the courts that it has been the subject of two Supreme Court decisions in the past decade. Most recently, Warner Chappell Music, Inc. v. Nealy resolved a circuit split that lasted only a few years. Despite this resolution, and the seeming unanimity of the lower courts in adopting the discovery rule of accrual, closer examination reveals that the lower courts are applying the discovery rule in two very different ways, depending on the nature of the dispute between …


Organic Websites: Certification Of Ai-Generated Or Human-Written Content On The Internet, Andrew W. Torrance, Bill Tomlinson Feb 2025

Organic Websites: Certification Of Ai-Generated Or Human-Written Content On The Internet, Andrew W. Torrance, Bill Tomlinson

Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property

This paper proposes the development of a certification system analogous to the standards used in organic food labeling, designed to distinguish websites based on the proportion of human-written versus AI-generated content. In an era where AI plays an increasingly prominent role in content creation, this system would provide transparency for consumers and uphold fair competition in digital markets. The certification would allow website creators to present verifiable evidence of their content’s provenance, ranging from entirely human-made, to a mix of human and AI contributions, to fully AI-generated content. Additionally, this paper explores the legal and policy frameworks necessary for implementing …

Ipr Estoppel And A Search For The Skilled Searcher Standard, Gabriel Steinberg May 2024

Ipr Estoppel And A Search For The Skilled Searcher Standard, Gabriel Steinberg

Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property

Interpretation of post-AIA IPR estoppel, codified in U.S.C. § 315(e)(2), is an issue at the forefront of patent litigation and plays an important role in the litigation process and strategy. The Federal Cir-cuit’s April 2023 ruling in Ironburg Inventions Ltd. v. Valve Corp., adopted the “skilled searcher standard” and provided some clarity re-garding the meaning of the § 315(e)(2) language, “reasonably could have raised.” While Ironburg did hold that prior art which “reasonably could have been raised” is that which “a skilled searcher conducting a diligent search reasonably would have been expected to discover,” questions pertaining to what exactly is …


Iconic Copiestm, Felicia Caponigri May 2024

Iconic Copiestm, Felicia Caponigri

Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property

There is a word that is prevalent today in marketing campaigns, ed-itorials, and our everyday language: iconic. “Iconic” is not only preva-lent as a word in everyday life. Iconic can also have legal significance. As I introduce in this article, the concept of iconic and its use by brands in trademark registrations, oppositions, and litigation has significant and underappreciated consequences under the law. There has yet been no study on the word “iconic” or the legal significance of iconic, de-spite the word’s creeping use in legal filings and claims. My article fills this gap by introducing the concept of iconic …

Exploring The Role Of Patent Offices In Climate Change Mitigation, Johanna Rahnasto Dec 2023

Exploring The Role Of Patent Offices In Climate Change Mitigation, Johanna Rahnasto

Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property

Patent offices are developing new programs to help in climate change mit- igation. What can they deliver? This Article provides a contemporary overview of the different green technology initiatives promoted by patent offices: fast- tracking of patent applications, search platforms, applicant resources, and publicity and awareness programs. The Article concludes that special treat- ment of green technology is fair and administrable when programs are openly accessible but narrowly tailored. The most tangible effect of these initiatives is the increased control by the patentee over the patenting and commercialization process, which is valuable even when effects of these programs on technology …

Enablement For Genus Claims: A Bifurcated Approach, Jie Yang Dec 2023

Enablement For Genus Claims: A Bifurcated Approach, Jie Yang

Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property

Abstract After two jury trials, two trips to the Federal Circuit, and two petitions to the Supreme Court, the Court this past term decided Amgen Inc. v. Sanofi without much controversy. In a unanimous decision, the Court affirmed the invalidation of Amgen’s functional antibody claims for lack of enablement. As a result, inventors down the road, not just life sciences companies, may find it more difficult to obtain broad patents. Although the Court was clear that Amgen may not “monopolize an entire class of things defined by their function,” the opinion fell short of guiding lower courts on how to …
