Diplomatic Impact In The Stars? A Review Of The Impact Of The Artemis Accords On Global Relationships, Joshua Lee, Elsbeth J. Magilton 4721662, Amelia Ruffolo

Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology

This essay examines the near-term and possible long-range impacts of the Artemis Accords on our relationships to our allies and whether the accords amount to a significant narrative shift in international space relations. Per the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Accords “describe a shared vision for principles, grounded in the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, to create a safe and transparent environment which facilitates exploration, science, and commercial activities for all of humanity to enjoy.” Many U.S. space allies have already signed, but do these accords truly strengthen our international relationships? Will they create a notable change in …

Out Of This World: 3d Printing And Space Law Regulation, Caitlyn Fischer

Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology

3D printing will be a valuable asset in the exploration and human expansion into space. This comment examines the current international treaties and U.S. domestic laws that may affect and impose requirements on 3D printing manufacturers seeking to print in space. These treaties are self-executing and therefore leave it up to Congress to take action to keep the U.S. in compliance with international space law. Congress can do this by granting agencies like the FCC and FAA authority to regulate. In order to utilize 3D printing technology in space and reap the benefits it has to offer, the U.S. should …

The Application Of The Right To Be Forgotten In The Machine Learning Context: From The Perspective Of European Laws, Zeyu Zhao

Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology

The right to be forgotten has been evolving for decades along with the progress of different statutes and cases and, finally, independently enacted by the General Data Protection Regulation, making it widely applied across Europe. However, the related provisions in the regulation fail to enable machine learning systems to realistically forget the personal information which is stored and processed therein.

This failure is not only because existing European rules do not stipulate standard codes of conduct and corresponding responsibilities for the parties involved, but they also cannot accommodate themselves to the new environment of machine learning, where specific information can …

Linkedin: A Case Study Into How Tech Giants Like Microsoft Abuse Their Dominant Market Position To Create Unlawful Monopolies In Emerging Industries, Ram Bhadra

UC Law Science and Technology Journal

The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit should reconsider the merits of hiQ Labs’ antitrust arguments against Microsoft after the Supreme Court of the United States vacated the district court’s judgement and remanded hiQ Labs, Inc. v. LinkedIn Corp. back to the district court. LinkedIn and its parent company Microsoft have violated Section 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act by denying its direct competitor, hiQ Labs, in the downstream people data analytics market access to data available publicly and exclusively on LinkedIn. Limiting the consumers’ and recruiters’ option of downstream people data analytics tools to only the …

Reconnecting The Patient: Why Telehealth Policy Solutions Must Consider The Deepening Digital Divide, Laura C. Hoffman

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

This Article will attempt to untangle the complicated web of providing telehealth to those populations it is potentially capable of further alienating from access to healthcare including: 1) race/minority populations, 2) aging adults, 3) individuals with disabilities, 4) non-English speakers, 5) individuals living in rural areas, 6) socioeconomic class, and 7) children, in order to advance the argument that telehealth can be successful in providing healthcare access to these populations. Rather than suggesting that telehealth simply "cannot work" for these populations, instead consideration can and must meet these individuals through technology, access, and policy developments.

First, this Article will explain …

Transplanting Anti-Suit Injunctions, Peter K. Yu, Jorge L. Contreras, Yu Yang

American University Law Review

When adjudicating high-value cases involving the licensing of patents covering industry standards such as Wi-Fi and 5G (standards-essential patents or SEPs), courts around the world have increasingly issued injunctions preventing one party from pursuing parallel litigation in another jurisdiction (anti-suit injunctions or ASIs). In response, courts in other jurisdictions have begun to issue anti-anti-suit injunctions, or even anti-anti-anti suit injunctions, to prevent parties from hindering the proceedings in those courts. Most of these activities have been limited to the United States and Europe, but in 2020 China emerged as a powerful new source of ASIs in global SEP litigation. The …

Lights, Camera, Action . . . As Long As You Live In The Proper Circuit: An Analysis Of The Circuit Split Concerning Civilians’ First Amendment Right To Record Police Officers, Chloe Cornett

SMU Science and Technology Law Review

While the United States Circuit Courts are not required to keep their precedents in synch, there are times when they should be. So-called “circuit splits” arise when the circuit courts divide themselves in a way that creates two competing schemes of caselaw. The core question of the split addressed in this Comment is whether or not there is an established First Amendment right for civilians to record police officers in public and, if so, whether that right ultimately defeats the doctrine of qualified immunity. The majority of circuits hold there is, while the minority point of view holds there is …

Distributed Governance Of Medical Ai, W. Nicholson Price Ii

SMU Science and Technology Law Review

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to democratize expertise in medicine, bring expertise previously limited to specialists to a variety of health-care settings. But AI can easily falter, and making sure that AI works well across that variety of settings is a challenging task. Centralized governance, such as review by the Food and Drug Administration, can only do so much, since system performance will depend on the particular health-care setting and how the AI system is integrated into setting-specific clinical workflows. This Essay presents the need for distributed governance, where some oversight tasks are undertaken in localized settings. It points …

Epistemology In Heterodox Economics?, Bret N. Bogenschneider

SMU Science and Technology Law Review

The epistemology of Heterodox Economics has been described as a type of methodological pluralism where its relativism is taken as consistent with new versions of science. However, methodological pluralism has severe drawbacks as a means of inquiry. Whereas Economics is often understood in positivist terms as a closed set, Heterodox Economics includes additional concepts and methods. As an open set of ideas, Heterodox Economics is a means to doubt or to not-know and comprises Einfühlung or the creative intuition for the introduction of new ideas into the epistemology of Economics.

Book Review: Mike Zajko, Telecom Tension: Internet Service Providers And Public Policy In Canada*, Matt Malone

Canadian Journal of Law and Technology

The world of telecommunications, writes Mike Zajko in this timely analysis of internet service providers (ISPs), “is a world many of us have never wondered about, just as we are rarely curious about where our sewage goes or how the electricity grid is configured.” Yet ISPs are not just conduits of fast-traveling light pulses that deliver the internet; they transmit, channel, form, and express a multitude of public policy issues, and they have an important level of agency in the construction and exercise of those policies, too. These dynamics have implications for a large bandwidth of topics relevant to Canadians, …

Discrimination On Wheels: How Big Data Uses License Plate Surveillance To Put The Brakes On Disadvantaged Drivers, Nicole Mcconlogue

Faculty Scholarship

As scholarly discourse increasingly raises concerns about the negative societal effects of “fintech,” “dirty data,” and “technochauvinism,” a growing technology provides an instructive illustration of all three of these problems. Surveillance software companies are using automated license plate reader (ALPR) technology to develop predictive analytical tools. In turn, software companies market those tools to auto financers and insurers as a risk assessment input to evaluate consumers seeking to buy a car. Proponents of this technology might argue that more in-formation about consumer travel habits will result in more accurate and individualized risk predictions, potentially increasing vehicle ownership among marginalized groups. …

Law And Liberty On The Moon, Frans Von Der Dunk

Space, Cyber, and Telecommunications Law Program: Faculty Publications

As on Earth, so in outer space . .

Most of those participating in humankind’s venturing into outer space, in particular to the extent of establishing settlements there and thereby providing for a second home for humanity, would hope or even assume that humankind in so doing might be able to avoid the sometimes rather bloody developments that accompanied settlement in far-away territories on Earth. However, at least in the legal area, with a view to its role as providing not only justice and fairness but also predictability and foreseeability, logic dictates that terrestrial laws and experiences of these laws …

The “License As Tax” Fallacy, Jonathan M. Barnett

Michigan Technology Law Review

Intellectual property licenses are commonly portrayed as a “tax” that limits access to technology assets, which in turn stunts innovation by intermediate users and inflates prices for end-users. Renewed skepticism toward IP licensing, and associated judicial and regulatory interventions that apply per se-like liability rules under patent and antitrust law to IP licensing, overlook the fact that IP licenses typically play a “positive-sum” enabling function, rather than a “zero-sum” exclusionary function, by mitigating expropriation risks that would otherwise frustrate transactions between the holders of complementary specialized IP and non-IP assets. As illustrated by paradigm examples of licensing and other IP-dependent …
