See No Evil: How The Supreme Court’S Decision In Global-Tech Appliances, Inc. V. Seb S.A. Further Muddles The Intent Element Of Induced Infringement, Jeremy Adler
Northwestern Journal of Technology and Intellectual Property
The Supreme Court in Global-Tech Appliances, Inc. v. SEB S.A. clarified the requisite intent for induced patent infringement when it applied the concept of willful blindness. This Article argues that the Court’s decision was misguided and complicates an already confused doctrine. The Article first explores inducement jurisprudence up to and including the Global-Tech decision, and then reviews the doctrine of willful blindness and its application in the criminal context. The Author then argues that using willful blindness in the patent context creates practical and theoretical difficulties that only deepen uncertainty for innovators who seek to avoid infringement liability.
Patent Claims Revisited, Dargaye Churnet
Patent Claims Revisited, Dargaye Churnet
Northwestern Journal of Technology and Intellectual Property
This paper proposes that the most beneficial patent reform begins with claim drafting regulations. Part I serves as an introduction. Part II highlights the problems with the nation’s current patent system. This section discusses how each of these problems is caused in part by the current claim drafting regulations. Part III reviews the changes made by the America Invents Act. Part IV proposes new regulations for claim drafting that will offer more significant benefits than those provided by the America Invents Act. Specifically, this paper argues that by requiring applicants to include a claim chart defining each claim limitation, examiners …

Heavyweight Bots In The Clouds: The Wrong Incentives And Poorly Crafted Balances That Lead To The Blocking Of Information Online, Anjanette H. Raymond
Northwestern Journal of Technology and Intellectual Property
The United States and the European Union have long recognized the need to protect ISPs from potential liability from customers using their services to infringe intellectual property rights. These protections arise from a long-standing belief that intellectual property right holders should bear the burden of protecting their property, even in the quick moving Internet environment. However, a recent series of cases has called into question the ISPs’ liability protections as their technology is often the only real means to prevent wide scale infringing activity. This series has caused courts to revisit ISPs’ liability and to impose a ‘cooperative burden’ requiring …
The Orphan Drug Act: How The Fda Unlawfully Usurped Market Exclusivity, Sumin Kim
The Orphan Drug Act: How The Fda Unlawfully Usurped Market Exclusivity, Sumin Kim
Northwestern Journal of Technology and Intellectual Property
The Board of KV Pharmaceutical bet the company on the success of Makena®, a pre-term birth drug. However, in the midst of a public outcry over the excessive pricing of Makena®, the FDA declared that it would not honor the market exclusivity that KV Pharmaceutical had obtained for Makena® under the Orphan Drug Act. As a result, KV Pharmaceutical filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This Note analyzes the situation under the lens of the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. Specifically, I argue that market exclusivity for Makena® was private property and thus, the FDA unlawfully usurped KV Pharmaceutical’s private …

The Liability Of Online Markets For Counterfeit Goods: A Comparative Analysis Of Secondary Trademark Infringement In The United States And Europe, Kurt M. Saunders, Gerlinde Berger-Walliser
The Liability Of Online Markets For Counterfeit Goods: A Comparative Analysis Of Secondary Trademark Infringement In The United States And Europe, Kurt M. Saunders, Gerlinde Berger-Walliser
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Online trademark infringement and counterfeiting is a growing problem for luxury brands. In recent years, trademark owners have taken aim at the operators of online marketplaces and auction websites, asserting that these defendants are liable for contributory infringement due to sales of counterfeit goods on their sites. In addressing the scope of secondary liability for trademark infringement, the courts of the United States and European nations, including France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, have applied differing standards and reached inconsistent results. This article considers the question of secondary liability for trademark infringement from a comparative perspective and contrasts the rationales …
Toward A Regulatory Model Of Internet Intermediary Liability: File-Sharing And Copyright Enforcement, Christopher M. Swartout
Toward A Regulatory Model Of Internet Intermediary Liability: File-Sharing And Copyright Enforcement, Christopher M. Swartout
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
One of the major problems presented by digital content and the internet has been the failure of traditional copyright enforcement mechanisms to adequately address infringement that takes place via online file-sharing. Recently, laws that would introduce a new copyright enforcement paradigm have been proposed in numerous countries and have received strong support from content industries seeking a more effective enforcement regime. These laws are often referred to as "graduated response" policies. Although there is some variation, graduated response laws typically impose requirements on Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to cooperate with rightsholders and government in policing illegal file-sharing. ISPs are required …

The Riddle Underlying Refusal-To-Deal Theory, Michael Jacobs, Alan Devlin
The Riddle Underlying Refusal-To-Deal Theory, Michael Jacobs, Alan Devlin
NULR Online
May a dominant firm refuse to share its intellectual property (IP) with its rivals? This question lies at the heart of a highly divisive, international debate concerning the proper application of the antitrust laws. In this short Essay, we consider a profound, yet previously unaddressed, incongruity underlying the controversy. Specifically, why is it that monopolists refuse to share their IP, even at monopoly prices? To resolve this issue, some have recommended compulsory licensing, which would require monopolists to license their IP in certain circumstances. This proposal, however, entails an inescapable contradiction, one rooted in the issue of monopolists’ seemingly inexplicable …
Can The Law Track Scientific Risk And Technological Innovation?: The Problem Of Regulatory Definitions And Nanotechnology, David A. Dana
Can The Law Track Scientific Risk And Technological Innovation?: The Problem Of Regulatory Definitions And Nanotechnology, David A. Dana
Faculty Working Papers
The functioning of a regulatory regime often turns on what is defined to be included in the scope of regulation and what is defined to be outside. In constructing the definitions of what is regulated, two key challenges are to align the defintions with the risks that motivated the establishment of the regulatory regime and to build in dynamism into the defintions so that they adapt to changes in scientific understanding and technology. This Chapter of a forthcoming book from Cambridge University Press (David Dana, ed., The Nanotechnology Challenge), explores these challnegs in the context of nanotechnology.
Sequential Musical Creation And Sample Licensing, Peter Dicola
Sequential Musical Creation And Sample Licensing, Peter Dicola
Faculty Working Papers
All musical creation builds on previous works. But using fragments of existing musical works in a new work can often constitute copyright infringement. Copyright law, in cases like Bridgeport Music v. Dimension Films (6th Cir. 2005), has recently increased its restrictions on musicians who wish to engage in sampling, defined as the practice of using other creators' sound recordings to create new music. The paper describes a model of copyright holders' and samplers' incentives to create in light of the need to negotiate licenses for sample-based works to avoid violating copyright law. Even in the absence of traditional transaction costs …
Federal Circuit Patent Precedent: An Empirical Study Of Institutional Authority And Ip Ideology, David Pekarek-Krohn, Emerson H. Tiller
Federal Circuit Patent Precedent: An Empirical Study Of Institutional Authority And Ip Ideology, David Pekarek-Krohn, Emerson H. Tiller
Faculty Working Papers
In this paper, we aim to better understand the institutional authority of the Federal Circuit as a source of law as well as the influence of pro-patent and anti-patent ideological forces at play between the Supreme Court, Federal Circuit, and the district courts. Our specific focus is on the district courts and how they cite Federal Circuit precedent relative to Supreme Court precedent to support their decisions, whether they be pro-patent or anti-patent. Using a variety of citation approaches and statistical tests, we find that federal district courts treat the Federal Circuit as more authoritative (compared to the Supreme Court) …
