Tópico(s): Copyright and Intellectual Property
1988 - Oxford University Press | The American Journal of Comparative Law
Many works are today subject to piracy and are likely to be under produced without some form of legal protection. Notwithstanding the recent Supreme Court decisions in Feist Publications, Inc. v. Rural Telephone Service Co. and Bonito Boats, Inc. v. Thunder Craft Boats, which widen the piracy crack into which valuable works can fall, notions of misappropriation or piracy can, do, and should play an important role in copyright interpretation. Antimisappropriation of authorial skill and effort is ...

The digital age brings with it increasing varieties of products that are costly to produce but arguably vulnerable to cheap and rapid copying. An absence of legal protection acts as a disincentive to investment in the development of such products. Since patent law protects only nonobvi? ous advances in applied functionality and traditional copyright law abjures the protection of function, products of human intellectual activity falling outside these two primary regimes of protection have historically ...

For works that have been widely distributed, the fundamental copyright balances are not subject to private reordering under state contract law. Judge Easterbrook's overreliance on narrow law-and-economics reasoning caused him to miss the critical public interest analysis when he upheld the shrinkwrap license in ProCD, Inc. v. Zeidenberg. This article stresses the important distinction between commercialized and noncommercialized works. It argues that United States copyright law is and should remain ...

This article begins by exploring the nature of software as an area of technology similar to others except for the ease of its copying and distribution. Next, the traditional copyright protection available for technology is reviewed. Such traditional protection is either nonexistent or severely limited in scope, for fundamental reasons of social policy. The policy justification for affording software an increased level of protection over traditional technologies is piracy prevention, and increased ...

J.K. Rowling's stories about Harry Potter and his friends are a global phenomenon. Harry’s establishment as a cultural icon, however, has created a demand for ever more exploits, in much wider cultural contexts, than his creator can supply, even if she were willing to do so. Various translations have been made in different countries adding new plot twists, with the most creatively ambitious of the Harry Potter take-offs being the Tanya Grotter stories created in Russia. These stories bear so many ...

The Human Genome Initiative (HGI) is the large-scale, multinational effort to map and sequence the human genome. Completion of the Initiative is estimated to require about fifteen years, and its projected $3 billion price tag is enough to place it in the big science category. This is the first such undertaking for the biological sciences, and the decision to go forward has generated much public discussion. Even before the Initiative officially began, the HGI leaders in the United States at the Nation ...

As in all advanced countries, the problem of computer software protection has been a major topic of academic and political debate in Japan and much legal literature has been devoted to it through numerous academic conferences and administrative reports. Although nearly all other developed countries protect computer software under existing copyright law, the Japanese debate has brought into sharp focus some fundamental policy issues. Many of these issues are worthy of more consideration than they ...

The Berne Convention, which governs the international aspects of copyright protection in its signatory countries, has been in existence for over one hundred years. During that period, numerous attempts have been made to reform United States copyright law to permit our entry into the Convention, but while the reasons for our not joining may have varied with time, the United States has never acceded to its terms. Nevertheless, the differences between United States law and the requirements of the Berne ...

This article applies general principles of Japanese copyright law, as well as recent statutory amendments relating to computer programs, to the protection of operating system software. Against this framework, the views of leading Japanese commentators are critically analyzed to conclude that, if the suggested interpretations are adopted by Japanese courts, the Japanese Copyright Law could serve as a model for other countries that protect computer programs under copyright law.

The Japanese Copyright Law provides that copyright protection in computer programs does not extend to algorithms used in making programs. In March of 1989, the 29th division of the Tokyo District Court, which specializes in intellectual property cases, had occasion to consider how far beyond the literal code of a computer program the scope of protection would extend, in the context of a motion for preliminary injunction against alleged infringement of the copyright in several computer programs in ...

The problem of software protection under copyright law cannot be meaningfully addressed by viewing copyright as a stand-alone statute. Rather, intellectual property law must be viewed as a coherent whole, with copyright, patent, trade secret, unfair competition, and trademark law each playing different but interrelated roles. Of particular importance for software protection are the relative roles of patent and copyright. Resolution of practically every important problem of software protection depends ...

This paper concentrates on how patent rights in biotechnology affect the legitimate concerns of indigenous peoples. It presents an analysis designed to separate two primary issues: the use of traditional indigenous knowledge as a starting point for producing a valuable product and the patentability of gene-sequence and gene-product information taken from living organisms, especially human beings. These problems, however, have consequences for all peoples. Establishing patents as an important cause ...

Insider trading occurs when certain persons, through their position in a corporation or their relationship to it, acquire material, nonpublic information that relates to the value of the corporation's securities and trade on it in order to profit when the information is eventually disclosed.Notwithstanding a respectable argument to the contrary,' most courts and commentators agree that insider trading is undesirable and must be regulated by law. 2 Although the regulation of insider trading in impersonal ...

With the advent of the information age and the gradual breakdown of physical and legal barriers between nations, the differences in the type and scope of protection of information-based products from country to country becomes a matter of increasing concern to the legal community. The near dominance of Japan and the United States in computer and information-based products, especially computer software, and the already strong mutual economic dependence of the two countries will necessarily lead to ...

In adopting the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act (CTEA), Congress acceded to the demands of noncreative heirs and assignees of old but unexpired copyrights for extension of the period of copyright protection by twenty years. This legislation thus allows these copyright owners twenty more years to collect royalties and control performance and dissemination of the covered works. At the same time, Congress extended the term prospectively for works created in the future. Both prospective and retroactive ...

This article addresses the degree to which and the mode in which computer programs should be protected by copyright law in developing countries. Copyright, notwithstanding its very long term of protection and its unwillingness to recognize compulsory licensing, can serve as a useful vehicle for protecting programs. This is possible if the scope of protection is held appropriately narrow and if programs are considered sui generis works requiring legal interpretations unique to their characteristics ...

Neutron activation analysis (NAA) is a method of detecting with great sensitivity the presence and concentrations of most chemical elements in materials, without, in most cases, destroying the sample analyzed. It permits identification and measurement of concentrations of elements which are present in only minute or trace quantities, such as specks of paint, which because of their size are not susceptible to other techniques. Also, under appropriate circumstances, NAA can identify both large and ...
