More Than ‘‘Responsible Ai” Bridging Artificial Intelligence Systems (Ais) And Aisystems Ethics Into Practice, Ruth Bankey

Canadian Journal of Law and Technology

This article reflects on the question ‘‘how should we approach the ethics of AI and technology?” through the example of how the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is working within this space to develop its Artificial Intelligence Systems (AIS) Ethics Lifelong Learning and Professional Development Strategy. This strategy is connected, but also acts as a critical counterpoint, to approaches to AI governance and accountability that are reliant on a notion of ‘‘Responsible AI”. In these contexts, responsible AI is understood as the regulatory adoption of ‘‘rules” diffused through a normative structure of hierarchical authority within the organization or business. Rather, this …

By examining the progression of risk assessment tools from their origins to the current AI-powered systems this research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities that these tools present. The article then delves into crucial issues such as algorithmic bias, highlighting …

When All Else Fails: The Doctrine Of Foreign Equivalents As A Bar To Cultural Misappropriation, Stephanie H. Soh

William & Mary Law Review

This Note argues that under trademark law, the doctrine of foreign equivalents can be utilized to prevent some aspects of legally enforced cultural misappropriation. While it would be impossible to solve cultural misappropriation in one written piece, this Note proposes that the doctrine can serve to prevent applicants from obtaining trademark protections for certain foreign words.

Part I of this Note provides background on cultural misappropriation and the doctrine of foreign equivalents. Part II argues why the doctrine of foreign equivalents is poised to solve some of the harms of cultural misappropriation both in its structure and purpose. Part III …

Pushing A Square Pin Into A Round Hole? Intellectual Property Challenges To A Sustainable And Circular Economy, And What To Do About It, Irene Calboli

Faculty Scholarship

It is old news that the world is facing growing environmental problems related to industrial manufacturing and waste management. Finally, consumers are demanding change due to the increasing threat of climate change, and industries are being forced to adapt. Repairing, reselling, upcycling, and recycling existing products are key activities to promote sustainability and a circular economy, but current intellectual property (IP) rules may stand in the way when these activities are not conducted by, or with the consent of IP owners. This opinion argues that IP cannot be used to prevent a greener and more sustainable economy. Instead, it needs …

Incremental Improvement Of The Patentability Standard Of Nonobviousness, Kayla Siletti Brown

Fordham Law Review

Patents incentivize innovation, but the face of innovation has changed over the past several decades. Patent law is adapting to the radical growth of the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries, which produce drugs and biologics respectively. Research and development in these fields is largely incremental—new products are often derived from existing products. However, patents do not protect “obvious” improvements, those that anyone skilled in the relevant scientific field could have discovered through predictable, routine work. The line between incremental R&D and routine, obvious improvements is difficult to draw. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the Patent Trial …

Fair Use In The Us Redux: Reformed Or Still Deformed?, Jane C. Ginsburg

Faculty Scholarship

In 2019, Professor Ginsburg delivered the Distinguished Visitor in Intellectual Property Lecture at the Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore. Titled “Fair Use in the US: Transformed, Reformed, Deformed?”, the lecture explored US caselaw applying the statutory fair use exception, highlighting its excesses and apparent rebalancing. Four and half years (and a pandemic) later, the Supreme Court has rendered decisions in two fair use cases (Google v Oracle; Andy Warhol Foundation v Goldsmith). Together, these controversies prompt inquiry whether the Supreme Court has redrawn the landscape of US fair use and copyright law, expanding fair use …

Farming In The Software Age: Interoperability & Provincial Legislation, Anthony D. Rosborough, Carlo Dade

Reports & Public Policy Documents

In recent years, while governments have tried to create new industries in the West, an economic and innovation champion of the agricultural industry was in significant danger of being lost. The agricultural equipment manufacturing, or shortline, sector is a small but important employer, exporter and economic foundation in mostly rural communities of the Canadian prairies. The industry, and the jobs, innovation and exports that it engenders, had faced an existential threat from the abuse of copyright law by mostly foreign manufacturers of tractors and combines. This endangered not just the shoreline industry, but also potentially the future of sustainable agriculture …

Calculating The Harms Of Political Use Of Popular Music, Jake Linford, Aaron Perzanowski

Articles

When Donald Trump descended the escalator of Trump Tower to announce his 2016 presidential bid, Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World” blared from the loudspeakers. Almost immediately, Young’s management made clear that the campaign’s use of the song was unauthorized. Neil Young was not alone. Trump drew similar objections from dozens of artists during his first two presidential bids. But as a matter of copyright law, it is unclear whether artists can prevent their songs from being played at campaign rallies.

A Degree Of Pro-Ip Preference: An Empirical Study Of The Relationship Between Federal Judges' Undergraduate Programs And Their Trade Secret Decisions, Christopher P. Dinkel

West Virginia Law Review

While the previous literature has found that certain background characteristics of federal judges, such as their race, gender, and ideology, statistically correlate with case outcomes, little prior scholarship has examined the connection between judges’ educational backgrounds and their judicial decision-making. The empirical study that this Article presents fills a critical gap in the literature by statistically analyzing the relationship between federal judges’ undergraduate degrees and their rulings in cases related to trade secrets, a highly valuable form of intellectual property (IP) for many companies. Notably, it finds that if a trade secret case is assigned to a judge who possesses …

Perkembangan hak kekayaan intelektual yang terjadi secara global terjadi pula di Indonesia yang dibuktikan dengan lahirnya UU No. 28 Tahun 2014 yang mencabut dan menggantikan UU No. 19 Tahun 2002.

Perkembangan teknologi yang pesat membuat buku yang semulanya hanya tersedia dalam bentuk fisik kini juga tersedia dalam bentuk buku elektronik (e-book).

A Codified Liabilty Regime To Stimulate Greater Investment In Subpatentable Innovation, Ana Santos Rutschman, Jerome H. Reichman

Faculty Publications

The global intellectual property system rests on a distinction between exclusive property rights and free competition. Exclusive rights vary in strength and intensity, but the opposite of protection is almost always free competition. Distinctions of intensity are drawn in terms of the length of protection given to different subject matters plus variable lists of exceptions and limitations to exclusive rights. But the bottom line is that, when protection is not available under the existing system, free competition prevails, and vice-versa (i.e., where there is exclusivity, free competition is deferred for a specified period of time).

This Article departs from a …

Press Play To Presume: The Policy Benefits Behind The Trademark Modernization Act's Resurrection Of The Irreparable Harm Presumption In False Advertising Cases, Daniel Stephen

Cultural Diplomacy And Global Challenges In G20 Indonesia 2022, Poppy Setiawati Nurisnaeny, Hendra Kaprisma, Suwedi Suwedi

International Review of Humanities Studies

Indonesia has been chosen to host the G20 summit in Bali in November 2022. Indonesia has prepared many agendas ahead of the execution of this summit. This preparation concerns the technical implementation of multilateral relations, which have undergone significant changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, Indonesia needs help hosting the G20 due to the fractured multilateral relations of several G20 member countries caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict in early 2022. As a result, Indonesia must mediate between the disputing parties to resolve this issue by selecting appropriate communication methods. Cultural diplomacy is one approach.
