Solutions For Disputes Over Intellectual Property Between Taiwan And China – Analyzing Arbitration, Szu-Chou Peng, Fu-Jung Wu
Solutions For Disputes Over Intellectual Property Between Taiwan And China – Analyzing Arbitration, Szu-Chou Peng, Fu-Jung Wu
Barry Law Review
Increasing business transactions between Taiwan and China have caused international intellectual property disputes to become a new and serious problem for Taiwanese businessmen who have direct and indirect investments in trade. In order to solve this problem, Taiwan and China sequentially set special regulations. For example, section 74 of the Act Governing Relations between Peoples of the Taiwan Area and the Mainland Area was enacted by the government of Taiwan to recognize China’s civil arbitration procedures. On July 23, 2004, China established the Regulations of the Supreme People’s Court Regarding the People’s Courts’ Recognition of the Civil Judgments Rendered by …

This article addresses the impact of integration of academia, industry, and government on the public nature of research. The article concludes that, while the integration has benefited science immensely, regulatory measures should be taken to restore the public nature of research in an age of integration.

Acquiring Innovation, Xuan-Thao Nguyen, Jeffrey A. Maine
Acquiring Innovation, Xuan-Thao Nguyen, Jeffrey A. Maine
American University Law Review
In recent years, the innovation market has witnessed a new business model involving companies that are mere patent holding shells and not operating entities. They have no customers or products to offer, but they do have an aggressive tactic of using patent portfolios to threaten other operating companies with potential infringement litigation. The strategy is executed with the end goal of extracting handsome settlements. Acquisitions of patents for offensive use have become a major concern to operating companies because such acquisitions pose the threats of patent injunction, interrupting the business and crippling further innovation. While many operating companies today know …
What If Seeds Were Not Patentable?, Elizabeth I. Winston
What If Seeds Were Not Patentable?, Elizabeth I. Winston
Scholarly Articles
In 2001, the United States Supreme Court held that seeds were patentable subject matter - a decision, I assert, of much discussion and little impact. Protection of agricultural intellectual property through private ordering, used both to expand the protection available through public ordering and to circumvent the restrictions public ordering places on owners of intellectual property, has provided the incentives necessary to promote investment and innovation in seeds. It has not been the patentability of seeds that has led to agricultural advances, but rather the profitability of licensing agricultural intellectual property. What if seeds were not patentable? So what if …
Asking For Money Back - Chilling Commercialization Or Recouping Public Trust In The Context Of Stem Cell Research?, Matthew Herder
Asking For Money Back - Chilling Commercialization Or Recouping Public Trust In The Context Of Stem Cell Research?, Matthew Herder
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
As publicly funded institutions have increasingly embraced the goal of commercializing scientific research, concerns about private appropriation have become familiar refrain. One commonly suggested remedy is to create some kind of 'recoupment' provision whereby the State, on behalf of the public, receives a certain percentage of profits realized. The Bayh-Dole Act originally included a recoupment provision but it was deleted by a legislative committee. Countries around the globe attempting to emulate Bayh-Dole have, whether by design or default, reinforced the underlying logic against recoupment, which is essentially as follows: obligations to provide direct financial returns undermine the commercialization process and …

On The Legal Consequences Of Sauces: Should Thomas Keller's Recipes Be Per Se Copyrightable?, Christopher J. Buccafusco
On The Legal Consequences Of Sauces: Should Thomas Keller's Recipes Be Per Se Copyrightable?, Christopher J. Buccafusco
All Faculty Scholarship
The restaurant industry now takes in over $500 billion a year, but recent courts have been skeptical of the notion that one of its most valuable assets, original recipes, are subject to copyright protection. With more litigation looming and the contours of the debate insufficiently mapped out, this article establishes the appropriate groundwork for analyzing the copyrightability of recipes. I show that, contrary to recent appellate court opinions, recipes meet the statutory requirements for copyrightability. I argue, by analogizing to musical compositions, that written recipes work to satisfy the fixation requirement of copyright law just as musical notation does for …

Your Licensor Has A License To Kill, And It May Be Yours: Why The Ninth Circuit Should Resist Bankruptcy Law That Threatens Intellectual Property Licensing Rights, Jon Minear
Seattle University Law Review
In recent opinions, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit has interpreted the Bankruptcy Code ("the Code") in a manner that makes inaction or ignorance perilous for IP licensees whose licensor declares bankruptcy. Although Congress amended the Code to protect a licensee from losing technology rights in these situations, the Seventh Circuit has narrowly interpreted a strikingly similar bankruptcy provision involving real-estate leases and, in doing so, has cast doubt on the efficacy of the licensee protections found in section 365(n) of the Code. In addition, this circuit has broadly interpreted another Code section dealing with title-clearing sales …
Collateralizing Intellectual Property, Xuan-Thao Nguyen
Collateralizing Intellectual Property, Xuan-Thao Nguyen
Georgia Law Review
This Article argues that the process of collateralization of intellectual property lacks transparency.Consequently, the current Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code may unfairly advance secured creditor's rights at the expense of intellectual property creators-such as authors and inventors-who are the debtors, and ultimately at the expense of society as a whole. The hidden costs of using intellectual property rights as collateral in secured transactions may prevent intellectual property creators from creating future works based on their early creations. This Article identifies and critiques the collateralization of intellectual property,revealing the complexity of intersecting secured transaction law, namely Article 9 of …
The Tragedy Of Trips, Peter M. Gerhart
The Tragedy Of Trips, Peter M. Gerhart
Faculty Publications
This Article argues that sound intellectual property policy requires not only that the policymaker establish an appropriate incentive for invention but also that the policymaker determine how the cost of that incentive should be distributed across various classes of consumers. It is the distributive dimension of intellectual property policy that makes existing international institutions such an unsound mechanism for determining global rules for intellectual policy--the policymakers are simply not able to make the appropriate kinds of decisions. I suggest some ways in which institutional structures can be modified to achieve a better balance.
Congressional Authority Over Intellectual Property Policy After Eldred V. Ashcroft: Deference, Empty Limitations, And Risks To The Public Domain, David E. Shipley
Congressional Authority Over Intellectual Property Policy After Eldred V. Ashcroft: Deference, Empty Limitations, And Risks To The Public Domain, David E. Shipley
Scholarly Works
The United States Supreme Court upheld the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 (CTEA) in Eldred v. Ashcroft. The Court ruled that Congress had not exceeded its authority under the Copyright Clause by extending the copyright term twenty years and applying this extension retroactively to existing copyrighted works that otherwise would have entered the public domain at the end of their current, nonextended terms. The majority found a rational basis for CTEA and showed great deference to the authority of Congress to set policy that, in its judgment, effectuates the aims of the Copyright Clause. Although this deference to …
Piracy, Biopiracy And Borrowing: Culture, Cultural Heritage And The Globalization Of Intellectual Property, Olufunmilayo B. Arewa
Piracy, Biopiracy And Borrowing: Culture, Cultural Heritage And The Globalization Of Intellectual Property, Olufunmilayo B. Arewa
ExpressO
Discussions of both “piracy” and “biopiracy” often start from questionable assumptions about the nature of borrowing. In addition, legal treatment of local or traditional knowledge is often based on inadequate conceptions of the nature of culture and borrowing among cultures. Uses of local or traditional knowledge are embedded within an at times contentious discourse between North and South and have led to accusations of misappropriation, exploitation and “biopiracy.” This discourse reflects historical hierarchies of culture and power that continue to exert a strong influence on discourse, policy and the shape of legal doctrine. Many countries in the South lack the …
A Technological Theory Of The Arms Race, Lee B. Kovarsky
A Technological Theory Of The Arms Race, Lee B. Kovarsky
Faculty Scholarship
Although the 'technological arms race' has recently emerged as a vogue-ish piece of legal terminology, scholarship has quite conspicuously failed to explore the phenomenon systematically. What are 'technological' arms races? Why do they happen? Does the recent spike in scholarly attention actually reflect their novelty? Are they always inefficient? How do they differ from military ones? What role can legal institutions play in slowing them down? In this Article I seek to answer these questions. I argue that copyright enforcement and self-help represent substitutable tactics for regulating access to expressive assets, and that the efficacy of each tactic depends on …
Capturing Ideas: Copyright And The Law Of First Possession, Abraham Drassinower
Capturing Ideas: Copyright And The Law Of First Possession, Abraham Drassinower
Cleveland State Law Review
Part II of this paper, entitled “Wish and Deed,” sets forth an account of the law of first possession through an analysis of the classic case of Pierson v. Post. Part III, entitled “Idea and Expression,” briefly sets forth an account of the idea/expression dichotomy in copyright law through discussion of the classic case of Nichols v. Universal Pictures Corporation. On that basis, Part III unfolds a correspondence between animus and factum in property law and idea and expression in copyright law. Part IV, entitled “Things and Speech,” suggests through discussion of the classic case of Feist that central doctrines …

Exporting Dmca Lockouts, Anupam Chander
Cleveland State Law Review
My goal here is limited. I do not attack the anti-circumvention provisions of the DMCA as wholly misguided; the desire to prevent widespread piracy of copyrighted works is understandable. At the same time, I do not mean to suggest that the critique I offer here is the sum of the adverse consequences of that statute, including for speech and education. My argument is limited to the threat posed by the export of the DMCA anti-circumvention rules, which do not explicitly guard against the anti-competitive use of those rules.Part I briefly sketches the difficulties created domestically by a DMCA inattentive to …

Constitutionalizing Patents: From Venice To Philadelphia, Craig Allen Nard, Andrew P. Morriss
Faculty Publications
Patent law today is a complex institution in most developed economies and the appropriate structure for patent law is hotly debated around the world. Despite their differences, one crucial feature is shared by the diverse patent systems of the industrialized world even before the recent trend toward harmonization: modern patent regimes include self-imposed restrictions of executive and legislative discretion, which we refer to as "constitutionalized" systems. Given the lucrative nature of patent monopolies, the long history of granting patents as a form of patronage, and the aggressive pursuit of patronage in most societies, the choice to confine patents within a …

The article discusses broadly the music piracy problem in Russia, the current state of Russia’s copyright laws, and how its laws and problems compare to the U.S. and the rest of the world. In particular, the article focuses on music piracy through the Internet and how it has exploded in Russia. One of the websites I target is the infamous Allofmp3.com, which has attracted a large amount of U.S. attention in recent times by consumers as well as lawmakers. The article analyzes the legislative and enforcement deficiencies in Russia that led to the enormous problem with traditional music piracy and …

Judging Art, Christine Farley
Judging Art, Christine Farley
Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals
What is art? Surprisingly, this question is addressed in various places in the law. At these junctures, courts typically attempt to avoid making a judgment. Indeed, the law generally resists any definition of art. The reasons given for this are that these determinations are too subjective for the courts and that judges lack proper training and expertise. Thus, the doctrine of avoidance is the most stable and explicitly stated proposition to be found in these encounters. However, the question of whether an object is a work of art for treatment under the law is often unavoidable. This question gets resolved …
Amateur-To-Amateur, Dan Hunter, F. Gregory Lastowka
Amateur-To-Amateur, Dan Hunter, F. Gregory Lastowka
William & Mary Law Review
Copyright, it is commonly said, matters in society because it encourages the production of socially beneficial, culturally significant expressive content. Our focus on copyright's recent history, however, blinds us to the social information practices that have always existed. In this Article, we examine these social information practices, and query copyright's role within them. We posit a functional model of what is necessary for creative content to move from creator to user. These are the functions dealing with the creation, selection, production, dissemination, promotion, sale, and use of expressive content. We demonstrate how centralized commercial control of information content has been …

Territoriality Waning? Patent Infringement For Offering In The United States To Sell An Invention Abroad, Timothy R. Holbrook
Territoriality Waning? Patent Infringement For Offering In The United States To Sell An Invention Abroad, Timothy R. Holbrook
Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship
Undeniably, intellectual property law is increasingly an issue of international law. With respect to patents, recent developments have resulted in the incorporation of international patent standards into U.S. domestic law. In 1994, Congress added a new form of infringement - for offering to sell an invention in the United States - to the Patent Act. Congress failed to provide guidance as to how that provision was to be interpreted, leaving open the following question: is there infringement if the offer is made in the United States but the contemplated sale occurs outside of the United States? This Article addresses this …
