U.S. Industries, Trade Associations, And Intellectual Property Lawmaking, Jacques J. Gorlin Apr 2002

U.S. Industries, Trade Associations, And Intellectual Property Lawmaking, Jacques J. Gorlin

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article discusses the role of U.S. industries and trade associations in shaping intellectual property (IP) lawmaking, particularly through the establishment of the Intellectual Property Committee (IPC) and its influence on the TRIPS agreement. The author argues against the notion of a corporate "conspiracy" behind TRIPS, instead highlighting the strategic lobbying efforts by industries to include IP issues in international trade negotiations. The article emphasizes the political and legal implications of TRIPS implementation and enforcement.

The article argues that the U.S. trade policymaking process is an open, inclusive system where diverse voices—including NGOs and consumer groups—meaningfully influence outcomes. It rejects the notion that intellectual property (IP) policy is driven solely by corporate interests, asserting instead that strong IP protections benefit both industry and consumers by fostering economic growth.

Institutions And Elites: Property, Contract, The State, And Rights In Information In The Global Economy, Paul B. Stephan Apr 2002

Institutions And Elites: Property, Contract, The State, And Rights In Information In The Global Economy, Paul B. Stephan

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article critiques the increasing reliance on international institutions for harmonizing intellectual property rights, arguing that while such institutions provide a framework for addressing the challenges of the information revolution and globalization, they may not be the optimal solution. It explores alternatives, including the development of an international common law through national courts and the potential benefits of local lawmaking and competition among jurisdictions. The author advocates for a structure that allows local autonomy in intellectual property regulation to better allocate rights in valuable information.


The Paradox Of Intellectual Property Lawmaking In The New Millennium: Universal Templates As Terms Of Surrender For Non-Industrial Nations; Piracy As An Offshoot, Assafa Endeshaw Apr 2002

The Paradox Of Intellectual Property Lawmaking In The New Millennium: Universal Templates As Terms Of Surrender For Non-Industrial Nations; Piracy As An Offshoot, Assafa Endeshaw

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article contends that nonindustrial countries (nonICs) have lost their role in shaping intellectual property (IP) laws, leading to the imposition of IP frameworks that often conflict with their economic and cultural needs. It argues that piracy in nonICs is not merely illegal activity but a consequence of their inability to tailor IP laws to their own development. The article critiques TRIPS for imposing Western IP standards on nonICs, which it views as a form of imperialism, and suggests that nonICs should adopt modified liability principles to foster innovation while addressing issues like access to essential goods such as medicines.


"Democratizing" Globalization: Practicing The Policies Of Cultural Inclusion, Doris Estelle Long Apr 2002

"Democratizing" Globalization: Practicing The Policies Of Cultural Inclusion, Doris Estelle Long

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article examines the evolving relationship between culture and intellectual property in the context of globalization, arguing that the current international harmonization process under the TRIPS Agreement is coercive and undemocratic, disproportionately favoring developed countries. It advocates for a more inclusive and balanced approach to harmonization that considers the diverse needs of developing countries and ensures equitable protection of intellectual property while preserving cultural and public domain interests.


Knowledge-Economy Ilites, The International Law Of Intellectual Property And Trade, And Economic Development, Michael P. Ryan Apr 2002

Knowledge-Economy Ilites, The International Law Of Intellectual Property And Trade, And Economic Development, Michael P. Ryan

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article challenges the simplistic view of the TRIPS Agreement as a tool solely for corporate power, emphasizing instead the agency and strategic choices of developing countries in shaping intellectual property (IP) policies to their economic benefit. It highlights the complexity of IP laws, including trademarks, patents, and copyrights, and their varying acceptance and impact in developing nations. The analysis underscores the importance of understanding sector-specific dynamics and the role of international organizations in promoting IP standards, ultimately advocating for a nuanced approach to IP policies that align with local development goals and global economic integration.


World Trade Intellectual Property And The Global Élites: An Introduction, Peter K. Yu Apr 2002

World Trade Intellectual Property And The Global Élites: An Introduction, Peter K. Yu

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

This introduction examines the shift in intellectual property (IP) lawmaking from domestic governance to international frameworks, particularly through the World Trade Organization (WTO). While international lawmaking promotes harmonization and prevents regulatory races to the bottom, it often prioritizes the interests of developed nations and multinational corporations, potentially undermining the ability of less developed countries to tailor IP systems to their socio-economic needs. The introduction highlights concerns about the exclusion of key issues like consumer rights, cultural diversity, and human rights, as well as the undemocratic nature of global institutions.

Toward A Nonzero-Sum Approach To Resolving Global Intellectual Property Disputes: What Can We Learn From Mediators, Business Strategists, And International Relations Theorists, Peter K. Yu

Articles

All societies, communities, organizations, and interpersonal relationships experience conflict at one time or another in the process of dayto-day interaction. Conflict is not necessarily bad, abnormal, or dysfunctional; it is a fact of life. Conflict and disputes exist when people are engaged in competition to meet goals that are perceived to be, or actually are, incompatible. However, conflict may go beyond competitive behavior and acquire the additional purpose of inflicting physical or psychological damage on an opponent, even to the point of destruction. It is then that the negative and harmful dynamics of conflict exact their full costs.


How Extra-Copyright Protection Of Databases Can Be Constitutional, Justin Hughes Jan 2002

How Extra-Copyright Protection Of Databases Can Be Constitutional, Justin Hughes

Articles

Following the Supreme Court's 1991 Feist decision, intellectual property and Constitutional law scholars have debated whether extra-copyright protection of databases can be established by Congress under its Commerce Clause power. This article presents the problem as one of the gravitational zone of the Commerce Clause versus that of the Copyright and Patent Clause. The article reasons that the Supreme Court decisions in International News Service v. Associated Press, Zacchini v. Scripps-Howard, and the 19th century Trademark Cases all point to the possibility of limited protection of databases under the Commerce Clause. The Article also considers the constitutionality of extra-copyright protection …
