Letter From The Editor, Richard P. Klau
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
Over the last eight months, several people have asked why we decided to publish The Journal exclusively online. These concerns are not insignificant -- any embrace of a new technology should be made without blinders on. We were excited by the possibilities of publishing online, but the fears that we would not be taken seriously were very real. These fears have, however, been overcome by the enthusiasm which has greeted The Journal.

I cannot imagine what it was like to practice law without a photocopy machine. In the first years of my practice, I received a few briefs typed the old fashioned way, on onion-skin paper with five sets of carbons in between. But since then, we have witnessed a continuing march of progress in information processing. From the mag card, to the memory typewriter, to the System 6, to the dedicated word processor, to the personal computer and now to the computer network, we have seen technology, when working correctly, providing tremendous assistance in meeting the demands of our busy lives. …

Priority Of Invention In United States Patents: From The Paris Convention To Gatt, John F. Carroll Iv
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
Imagine the following: It's New Year's Eve, 1994, and as twilight falls you start to clean off your desk and get ready to go home. On top of your "Out" tray is a copy of a patent application for American Corporation that you filed with the Patent and Trademark Office last week. A-Corp., one of your largest clients, is the nation's largest manufacturer of business office furniture. The patent application is for A-Corp's new "Security Cabinet," a device that protects sensitive computer disks and video- tapes from electromagnetic contamination. The Security Cabinet was unveiled at an office supply trade show …
Overreaching Provisions In Software License Agreements, Michael Liberman
Overreaching Provisions In Software License Agreements, Michael Liberman
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
Historically, software license agreements emerged as the most popular means of protection of proprietary rights in computer software. As a common form of contract and trade secret protection, software licenses coexist with other forms of intellectual property rights such as patent and copyright. The importance of these forms of protection has recently increased. Where the licensor fails to consider the implications of the relation between these forms of protection, the licensor's attempts to maximize contractual protection while restricting the licensee's activities regarding the licensed software may result in overreaching. Under these circumstances, a court may invalidate the license agreement in …

Contracts, Copyright And Preemption In A Digital World, I Trotter Hardy
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
Copyright is designed to provide some form of protection against unauthorized use of original informational materials. The rapid shift of information production and distribution to electronic form, with its corresponding ease of copying, naturally makes copyright-dependent industries nervous. Much talk in the news and on the "net" these days is about the future of copyright law, a law developed in an age of print and now perhaps too tied to that medium to have ready application to today's information technology.
Trademarks Along The Infobahn: A First Look At The Emerging Law Of Cybermarks, Dan L. Burk
Trademarks Along The Infobahn: A First Look At The Emerging Law Of Cybermarks, Dan L. Burk
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
Use of the global Internet computer network is rising exponentially. As Internet subscription increases disagreements between users are expected to arise, just as where any sizeable number of human beings interact, disagreements may be expected to arise. To date, on-line disputes have been primarily dealt with via informal solutions, such as the polite conventions of "netiquette" shared by Internet users. However, as the community of Internet users grows increasingly diverse, formal dispute resolution mechanisms, embodied as law and legal institutions, may be called upon by the parties to resolve disagreements. For example, several acrimonious disputes have already arisen over the …
Apple V. Microsoft: Virtual Identity In The Gui Wars, Joseph Myers
Apple V. Microsoft: Virtual Identity In The Gui Wars, Joseph Myers
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
The company that controls the interface of the next major operating system will have the ability to set the standards for application software. It was not surprising that Apple Corporation began its fight to stop Windows from being that major operating system after Microsoft Corporation introduced the various versions of its Windows software and announced plans for this program to replace the already widely selling DOS operating system. Unfortunately, Apple chose to conduct this war on the complex and often confusing battleground of copyright law, which ultimately proved to be its downfall.
The Problem Of Concurrent Use Of Trademarks: An Old/New Proposal, David S. Welkowitz
The Problem Of Concurrent Use Of Trademarks: An Old/New Proposal, David S. Welkowitz
University of Richmond Law Review
It is an old problem in trademark law. Someone develops a trademark and starts using it on goods or services. Business improves and the company slowly expands into different areas of the country. Sooner or later this first user discovers that someone else in another part of the country is using the same mark on the same goods. Although the second user started using the mark after the first user, the second use was made without knowledge of the first user. The next thing you know, there is a lawsuit. In such a case, who should win?
Copyright Implications Attendant Upon The Use Of Home Videotape Recorders, Sandra Gross Schneider
Copyright Implications Attendant Upon The Use Of Home Videotape Recorders, Sandra Gross Schneider
University of Richmond Law Review
Copyright is the Cinderella of the law. Her rich older sisters, Franchises and Patents, long crowded her into the chimney-comer. Suddenly, the fairy godmother, Invention, endowed her with mechanical and electrical devices as magical as the pumpkin coach and the mice footmen. Now she whirls through the mad mazes of a glamorous ball.
The Patentability Of Microorganisms: Statutory Subject Matter And Other Living Things, Eric W. Guttag
The Patentability Of Microorganisms: Statutory Subject Matter And Other Living Things, Eric W. Guttag
University of Richmond Law Review
For the past 200 years, the federal patent laws have been used to encourage advances in scientific and technological areas. Pursuant to its constitutional authority "To Promote the Progress of Science and the Useful Arts," Congress has provided statutory protection for new and useful inventions. Consistent with constitutional and congressional mandates, patent rights have been granted for inventions which were diverse in both subject matter and complexity. For instance, the scope of patentable subject matter now extends to such highly sophisticated and revolutionary technologies as lasers, computers, and photocopiers.
