UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law
The pertinent questions therefore are: first, could software vulnerabilities be obviated simply by ameliorating factors responsible for market failure as canvassed by the literature on the economics of software security, drawing on the strength of the theory of information asymmetry, or are vulnerabilities inevitable irrespective of market dynamics and solutions? Second, to what extent is vulnerabilities research or the surreptitious exploitation of software vulnerabilities by hackers tantamount to trespass, and what are the legal implications, if any? Third, to what extent is the peddling of software vulnerabilities valid or enforceable in law? Fourth, what are the implications of software vulnerabilities …

The Evolutionary Biology Of Fungi And Fraud,

The Evolutionary Biology Of Fungi And Fraud, Wendy Gerwick Couture
Articles
In this Article, the authors-a law professor and a biologist-offer a fresh perspective on the use of broad federal fraud statutes to combat fraud by drawing a comparison with the use of multi-site fungicides to combat plant disease. Multi-site fungicides are effective at preventing the evolution of resistant strains of fungi, but they are subject to increased regulatory scrutiny amid concerns about off-target toxicity. Similarly, broad fraud statutes serve as a stopgap to prevent the evolution of new types of fraud, but they are widely criticized as unduly vague and as interfering with the operation of specific fraud statutes. Biologists' …

The Impact Of The Biosimilars Provision Of The Health Care Reform Bill On Innovation Investments, 10 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 553 (2011), Katherine N. Addison
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
The Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 provides an abbreviated FDA approval pathway for biosimilars. The passage of this biosimilar legislation is a positive step toward retaining a robust biotechnology industry in the United States while also protecting innovators. The Act’s increased FDA exclusivity is welcome, but FDA exclusivity alone is insufficient to encourage and protect innovation and investment in biosimilars. Instead, the exclusivity provided by a patent term, together with the ability to adjust this term to compensate an applicant for U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and FDA delays, is necessary to ensure development of highly specialized …

Caveat Bibliotheca: The First Sale Doctrine And The Future Of Libraries After Omega V. Costco, 11 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 414 (2011), Thomas J. Bacon
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
Having discovered that several of its watches, which were manufactured in Europe, were imported into the United States and sold without authorization, Omega, S.A. ("Omega") commenced an action against Costco Wholesale Corp. in 2005. These watches are a typical example of what are referred to either as parallel imports or gray market goods. In finding for Omega, the Ninth Circuit held that the first sale doctrine does not apply to goods created or produced outside the United States. Such a rule, however, poses grave problems for libraries, in that circulation materials are not required to have a place of manufacture …

Nature Or Nurture: Is There A Case Basis For A Judicially Created ‘Product Of Nature’ Exclusion? Are Genes Somehow Different?, 11 J Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 318 (2011), W. Lesser
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
The Myriad Genetics decision has rekindled the product of nature debate. This article analyzes legal decisions spanning the past century for products ranging from plants to man-made elements, which in sum provide guidance to the patentability of genes. The product of nature argument it is concluded confuses rather than clarifies patentability considerations. Patentability in the evaluated cases as well as for genes can be resolved more precisely under the utility, non-obviousness, disclosure, and enablement patentability requirements without a need for any additional judicially-created stipulation. As regards genes, there is an additional dimension for consideration which in the case law and …

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
The exclusive rights of a patent owner to exclude others from making, using, or selling patented inventions are limited by the doctrine of patent exhaustion. This doctrine, also known as the first sale doctrine, states that upon the first authorized sale of a patented article in the United States, the article is removed from the patent monopoly, thus losing its patent protection. As a result of this first sale, any subsequent use or sale of the patented article is not an infringement of its corresponding patent. The Federal Circuit further established the conditional sale doctrine in Mallinckrodt, Inc. v. Medipart, …

Recently, a YouTube user and mother of two, Stephanie Lenz, filed a lawsuit against Universal Music Corporation which had the potential for broad impact on the internet. Everyone from politicians, to teachers, to musical artists could have gained more protection of their rights as internet users. With millions of people having access to the internet and YouTube “vloggers” reaching the million mark in subscribers, the court’s interpretation of 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) could have had a significant impact. The issue in the case was what “any damages” meant in a clause creating liability for a party that incorrectly has material …

UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
Behavioral targeting (“BT”) is an advertising technique that receives a great deal of attention due in part to the balkanized self-regulatory policies that address consumer protection issues. The majority of the self-regulation policies, including the BT principles proposed by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) focus on privacy issues but fail to discuss the impact BT may have on the right to control the commercial use of one’s identity. In discussing the right of publicity, many legal scholars agree that everyone has a right to control the commercial use of his or her identity, regardless of his or her status as …

Protecting The Gates Of Reasonable Royalty: A Damages Framework For Patent Infringement Cases, 11 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L. 192 (2011), Merritt J. Hasbrouck
UIC Review of Intellectual Property Law
The reasonable royalty analysis in patent infringement cases remains confusing to juries because of the numerous and arbitrary methods of calculation. The use of confusing methodologies, such as the Georgia-Pacific analysis, the Entire Market Value Rule, and the former 25 percent rule, increase the risk of overcompensating patentees in patent infringement cases. Without suitable changes to the reasonable royalty analysis, damages award amounts will continue to increasingly undermine the incentive for subsequent inventors to create new products. Although the courts have had some success in establishing new methods, Congress should create a more rigid and clear test for use in …

Thirty-Two Short Stories About Intellectual Property, Lorie Graham, Stephen Mcjohn
UC Law Science and Technology Journal
In the United States, intellectual property law is usually viewed as serving an economic policy, by providing an incentive for authors and inventors to create works. The incentive policy, however, ill fits the actual contours of intellectual property law and how artists and inventors use it. Adding other approaches offers a fuller explanation. Intellectual property plays a greater role than economic theory suggests in disclosing technology, and in serving to coordinate cultural values in technology. Intellectual property can serve human rights (similar to the moral rights approach in some jurisdictions) by allowing people to control the way that their works …

A Pathway To Follow-On Biologics, Jeanne Yang
UC Law Science and Technology Journal
Over the past several decades, advances in biotechnology and medicine have created an influx of biologics. Biologic products have shown great promise as effective treatments for cancer, autoimmune diseases, and other serious afflictions. Many drug manufacturers have been enticed by the promise of patent protection and strong market rates and have entered the field, developing innovative, therapeutic biologics. Consequently, there has also been a demand for generic follow-on biologics. There are two major factors limit the reach of biologic development: cost and safety. The need for an abbreviated approval system for follow-on biologics has been clearly demonstrated, and some options …

Provigil: A Case Study Of Anticompetitive Behavior, Michael A. Carrier
UC Law Science and Technology Journal
Using the sleep-disorder drug Provigil as a case study, this article exposes a new type of anticompetitive harm that stems from the combination of two distinct activities. First, brand-name drug firms such as Cephalon, the developer of Provigil, have settled patent litigation by paying generic firms to delay entering the market. Second, brand firms, frequently at the end of a patent term, have engaged in "product hopping," switching from one means of administering a drug (e.g., tablet) to another (e.g., capsule). The story of Provigil demonstrates the anticompetitive harm that can result from the combination of these two activities.

Provigil: A Commentary, Daniel A. Crane
UC Law Science and Technology Journal
This commentary addresses the "product hopping" analysis in Professor Carrier's case study of Cephalon's Provigil and Nuvigil sleep disorder drugs. Professor Carrier suggests that Cephalon introduced Nuvigil near the end of Provigil's patent term to sidestep generic competition. This piece examines several points raised by that paper, including the fact that Cephalon did not withdraw Provigil from the market when it introduced Nuvigil, that the advantages of Nuvigil over Provigil are not well established, and the suggestion that courts should get into the business of scrutinizing "product hopping." In addition, it is yet uncertain whether consumers will prefer Nuvigil to …
