100 Years Of International Ip - Reflections On Past, Present And Future, Frederick M. Abbott Jan 2023

100 Years Of International Ip - Reflections On Past, Present And Future, Frederick M. Abbott

Scholarly Publications

We have been asked to reflect on the past 100 years of international intellectual property law and to try to project forward about what changes might be necessary or desirable in the future. Only a science fiction writer would purport to have some idea about what things might look like a hundred years in the future, including from the standpoint of international intellectual property, so my remarks on that will be somewhat more proximate to the present.


The Remote Nature Of International Trade Transactions, Tahirih V. Lee Jan 2022

The Remote Nature Of International Trade Transactions, Tahirih V. Lee

Scholarly Publications

During the spring of 2020 through the spring of 2021 of the COVID-19 pandemic, most of the courses at the Florida State University College of Law were moved to Zoom in order to be taught remotely. This transition was painful and inadequate for many of the traditional-style law school courses. However, FSU's International Trade Transactions course, which has operated around a digitized transactional world for twenty years, smoothly transitioned to remote learning. As the teacher of this course, I would like to explore what students learn in that transactional world, and also how that learning helps the students after law …

Facilitating Access To Cross-Border Supplies Of Patented Pharmaceuticals: The Case Of The Covid-19 Pandemic, Frederick M. Abbott Sep 2020

Facilitating Access To Cross-Border Supplies Of Patented Pharmaceuticals: The Case Of The Covid-19 Pandemic, Frederick M. Abbott

Scholarly Publications

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought into stark relief the gaps in global preparedness to address widespread outbreaks of deadly viral infections. This article proposes legal mechanisms for addressing critical issues facing the international community in terms of providing equitable access to vaccines, treatments, diagnostics, and medical equipment. On the supply side, the authors propose the establishment of mandatory patent pools ('Licensing Facilities') on a global or regional, or even national basis, depending upon the degree of cooperation that maybe achieved. The authors also discuss the importance of creating shared production facilities. On the demand side, the authors propose the establishment …


Defining A Country's "Fair Share" Of Taxes, Adam H. Rosenzweig Jan 2015

Defining A Country's "Fair Share" Of Taxes, Adam H. Rosenzweig

Florida State University Law Review

The international tax regime is facing a defining moment. As stories of multinational companies expatriating and shifting income around the world with seeming impunity continue to emerge, the question of how to divide the international tax base among the countries of the world increasingly draws attention from policy-makers and academics. To date, however, the debate has tended to devolve into one over the two traditional tools used to divide worldwide tax base—transfer pricing and formulary apportionment. This Article demonstrates that such focus is misplaced on the instruments of dividing the worldwide tax base rather than on first principles. Instead, this …

International Trade And Investment Law And Carbon Management Technologies, Shi-Ling Hsu, Nigel Bankes, Anatlole Boute, Steve Charnovitz, Sarah Mccalla, Nicholas Rivers, Elizabeth Whitsitt Jul 2013

International Trade And Investment Law And Carbon Management Technologies, Shi-Ling Hsu, Nigel Bankes, Anatlole Boute, Steve Charnovitz, Sarah Mccalla, Nicholas Rivers, Elizabeth Whitsitt

Scholarly Publications

Reducing emissions of greenhouse gases will require the developing carbon management technologies that are not currently available or that are not currently cost-effective. While market mechanisms, such as carbon pricing, must play a central role in stimulating the development of these technologies, governmental policy aimed at fostering carbon management technologies and lowering their costs must also play a part. Both types of policies will form part of an optimal greenhouse gas control portfolio. This article develops a framework of international trade and investment law insofar as they may affect carbon management technologies. While it is commonly perceived that international trade …

Agreements That Divide: Trips Vs. Cbd And Proposals For Mandatory Disclosure Of Source And Origin Of Genetic Resources In Patent Applications Comment, Jonathan Carr Jan 2008

Agreements That Divide: Trips Vs. Cbd And Proposals For Mandatory Disclosure Of Source And Origin Of Genetic Resources In Patent Applications Comment, Jonathan Carr

Florida State University Journal of Transnational Law & Policy

In an attempt to unify the regulation of intellectual property, the TRIPS Agreement sets forth standards for intellectual property law. Recently, however, many countries have become divided on the issue of whether member countries should be required to disclose the source and origin of genetic resources used in patented technologies. Developing countries claim that enforcement of such a requirement would help remedy the global biopiracy problem. This article reviews and assesses the many proposals to amend the TRIPS Agreement as well as the responses from countries, such as the United States, opposing the proposals. Included is a brief discussion about …


A Legal Regime For State-Owned Companies In The Modern Era, Phillip Riblett Jan 2008

A Legal Regime For State-Owned Companies In The Modern Era, Phillip Riblett

Florida State University Journal of Transnational Law & Policy

Foreign state-owned companies (SOCs), particularly those in the energy sector, are more powerful than ever before. Yet under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 (FSIA), agencies and instrumentalities-a category in which many SOCs fall-enjoy a presumption of immunity. At the same time, however, pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Court's 1983 decision in First National City Bank v. Banco Para el Comercio Exterior de Cuba, in most cases the foreign state also enjoys the benefit of legal separateness-i.e., it is very difficult for a third party to "pierce the corporate veil" between the sovereign and its subsidiary. Thus, SOCs enjoy …


Questioning The Silence Of The Bench: Reflections On Oral Proceedings At The International Court Of Justice, Cecily Rose Jan 2008

Questioning The Silence Of The Bench: Reflections On Oral Proceedings At The International Court Of Justice, Cecily Rose

Florida State University Journal of Transnational Law & Policy

The growth of the docket of the International Court of Justice over the last several decades has been both a sign of its success and a source of its troubles. Because the Court's continued attractiveness as a forum for dispute settlement depends not only on the quality of its judgments, but also on the efficiency of its procedures, the Court has responded by attempting to modernize its working methods. Literature concerning the weaknesses of the Court's procedures, however, has not focused on how oral proceedings suffer from an absence of direct exchanges between the judges and counsel. The judges' hesitancy …


Painted Into A Corner: Rembrandt's Bankruptcy Today, Brian Logan Beirne Jan 2008

Painted Into A Corner: Rembrandt's Bankruptcy Today, Brian Logan Beirne

Florida State University Journal of Transnational Law & Policy

This Article analyzes the development of the concept of bankruptcy by examining Rembrandt's insolvency through the lens of modern law. To lay a foundation, it provides the historical context of Rembrandt's bankruptcy and his specific actions most pertinent to modern bankruptcy proceedings. This analysis then transitions into the modern era with a comparison of the seventeenth-century Dutch insolvency to modern bankruptcy law. It then proceeds to analyze this famous insolvency had it occurred today. This case demonstrates the means by which insolvency law serves society's interests by providing debtors such as Rembrandt with a second chance to contribute to the …


Free To Follow The Rules: A Glimpse At The Role Of Iraqi Media, Past, Present, And Future Comment, Cheryl D. Kluwe Jan 2008

Free To Follow The Rules: A Glimpse At The Role Of Iraqi Media, Past, Present, And Future Comment, Cheryl D. Kluwe

Florida State University Journal of Transnational Law & Policy

The Iraqi media has always reflected the social attitudes of the people who controlled it and, to a much lesser degree, those of its recipients. This Comment is a brief foray into a few of the reasons for the recent changes in that dynamic. It is a discussion of how the transition of the native Iraqi media into a semblance of a free press has been affected by conditions both inside and outside of Iraq, public perception, and the U.S. government's varying influence over the Iraqi media. This short work as a whole underscores an uneasy symmetry between old attitudes …


The Case Of The Eroding Special Immigrant Juvenile Status, Wendi J. Adelson Jan 2008

The Case Of The Eroding Special Immigrant Juvenile Status, Wendi J. Adelson

Florida State University Journal of Transnational Law & Policy

This Article provides a case study of a larger problem in American administrative law: the creation of unexecuted rights, with a focus in particular on the recent degradation of the Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS). Nearly twenty years ago, Congress drafted legislation providing for a pathway to citizenship for unaccompanied minors. In subsequent years, the Department of Homeland Security has ignored Congress' mandate to issue policy directives implementing the benefits and privileges associated with SIJS in a manner that would allow eligible persons to take advantage of this status. After explicating the nature of this creeping erosion of the SIJS …
