The Federal Circuit As An Institution, Ryan G. Vacca
Law Faculty Scholarship
The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit is a unique institution. Unlike other circuit courts, the Federal Circuit’s jurisdiction is bound by subject area rather than geography, and it was created to address a unique set of problems specific to patent law. These characteristics have affected its institutional development and made the court one of the most frequently studied appellate courts. This chapter examines this development and describes the evolving qualities that have helped the Federal Circuit distinguish itself, for better or worse, as an institution.
This chapter begins with an overview of the concerns existing before creation of …

Social Issues Of Genome Innovation And Intellectual Property, Elaine Alma Draper
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Draper's focus is the use of personal information derived from genome research. She identifies several potential problems, including access to and control of genetic information, employment discrimination and social stratification. She also recommends possible solutions.

Overview Of Federal Technology Transfer, Lawrence Rudolph
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Mr. Rudolph reviews approximately thirteen years of legal and political developments that have contributed to laws governing the extent to which private firms may secure rights in technology at least partly developed with federal funds.
The Human Genome Project And The Downside Of Federal Technology Transfer, Christopher J. Harnett
The Human Genome Project And The Downside Of Federal Technology Transfer, Christopher J. Harnett
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Mr. Harnett argues that emphasizing technology transfer at institutions such as the National Institutes of Health will interfere with what should be regarded as their primary mission, basic research.

Technology Transfer: A View From The Trenches, Harvey Drucker
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Drucker, who has lab-wide responsibility for technology transfer at Argonne National Laboratory, argues that transferring rights in discoveries made through tax supported research to private entities can contribute to public welfare in many ways.
Technology Transfer And The Genome Project: Problems With Patenting Research Tools, Rebecca S. Eisenberg
Technology Transfer And The Genome Project: Problems With Patenting Research Tools, Rebecca S. Eisenberg
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Professor Eisenberg argues against a system providing for federally-sponsored inventions to be patented if any associated person so desires. She believes that the system does not adequately weigh the possibility that the greatest social return from genome research will require some discoveries to be in the public domain.
