Book Synopsis A Defense of Intellectual Property Rights by : Richard A. Spinello
Download or read book A Defense of Intellectual Property Rights written by Richard A. Spinello and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is well provided with detailed references/bibliography for those who want to pursue the matter. . . The authors have effected a very thorough analysis of the moral issues and the book is strongly recommended for that reason. . . Brian Spear, World Patent Information This book should change the contours of the intellectual property debate. Spinello and Bottis fully appreciate what the standard instrumentalist accounts of intellectual property cannot even acknowledge that the lives and liberty of creators and artists are not the common property of society, and that it is intrinsically wrong to treat the efforts and projects of individuals as if they were unowned resources reaped as the fruit of the earth. Their work should help to reorient discussion of IP from an excessive concern with the economic and social consequences of competing policies back to the bedrock issues of basic respect for the integrity of our various particular lives and the labor that constitutes those lives. At the same time, they studiously avoid the unserious extremism that characterizes so much of the debate on every side, recognizing that respecting the lives and liberty of all sets real boundaries on the proper scope and stringency of IP claims, ruling out overzealous enforcement and radical repudiation alike. Richard Volkman, Southern Connecticut State University and Research Center on Computing and Society, US Since the rise of the Internet the question of intellectual property has been and still is one of the most controversial societal and ethical issues. The new global, interactive and bottom-up medium challenges moral, legal and economic structures not only in the music and film industry but also in the field of knowledge production, storage, distribution and access. The academic debate soon became and is still polarized between critics and defenders of IPR. The book by Richard A. Spinello and Maria Bottis A Defense of Intellectual Property Rights analyses in a critical and comprehensive manner some of the dogmas widely spread by the critics of IPR paying special attention to the differences between EU and European legal regimes. The authors explore the foundations of IP in Lockean philosophy, as a representative of a natural law approach, as well as in the theories of Fichte and Hegel based on deontological arguments. Both perspectives prevail in European law while American property law is widely based on utilitarian arguments. The authors argue in favor of Lockean and Hegelian foundations showing their relevance in the present debate as well as calling the attention to the link between these theories and the Catholic social doctrine. The book is an important contribution to this ongoing debate. Rafael Capurro, Stuttgart Media University, Germany Richard A. Spinello and Maria Bottis defend the thesis that intellectual property rights are justified on non-economic grounds. The rationale for this moral justification is primarily inspired by the theory of John Locke. In the process of defending Locke, the authors confront the deconstructionist critique of intellectual property rights and remove the major barriers interfering with a proper understanding of authorial entitlement. The book also familiarizes the reader with the rich historical and legal tradition behind intellectual property protection.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Ordre Public and Morality on the Regulation of Gene Editing Patents in the United States and the European Union by : Dorkina Myrick
Download or read book The Impact of Ordre Public and Morality on the Regulation of Gene Editing Patents in the United States and the European Union written by Dorkina Myrick and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the impact of ordre public and morality on government regulation of gene editing patents in the United States and the European Union. A discussion of ordre public and morality requires an understanding first of the separate meanings of ordre public and morality, then how and why ordre public and morality are often used in conjunction when referencing laws that pertain to ordre public and morality. The answers are not always clear, as domestic customs, codes of conduct, and laws vary internationally and among states and territories. Intellectual property laws refer to ordre public and morality in the Paris Agreement, TRIPS agreement, European Patent Convention, and Patent Cooperation treaty for the determination of invention patentability. Typically, countries which are adherents and signatories to these agreements have enacted laws which state that violations of ordre public and morality warrant the exclusion of inventions for patent eligibility. Although the United States is an example of a nation which does not require compliance with ordre public and morality provisions for patent awards, overwhelmingly, countries which are adherents and signatories to these international and regional agreements strive to uphold their ordre public and morality provisions when considering domestic inventions for patents. Governments should work to ensure that all members of society have equal access to developments in medical technology - including genetic technology (gene editing and genetic engineering). According to Article 1 of the Universal Declaration on the Human Genome and Human Rights (UDHGHR), DNA constitutes a type of institutional memory of the biology of humankind. By tampering with the human genome, this historical memory can become compromised. This is another reason why some form of societal regulation of genetic engineering and CRISPR gene editing on a collective level is critical. Neither governments nor private entities should have the right to exclusively own, profit from, or exploit genetic information in its natural state. This includes monopolization of ownership of the information through patenting. Scholars and experts postulate, however, that genetic material should be freely accessible.As inventors increase their pursuit of gene editing patents, the likelihood of monopoly behavior may increase. Thus, market and economic forces that favor patent holders cannot predominate the need for accessibility to CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology. It is for this reason that prioritization and balancing of research, clinical, ethical, and societal goals is important to maintain a healthy marketplace for innovation in gene editing patents. Moreover, a balance must be achieved between championing ordre public and morality and promoting innovation of gene editing technology. On the other hand, excessive regulation of gene editing technology can be detrimental to innovation.

This book was released on 2024-10-16 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the impact of intellectual property and international investment agreements within Africa. It investigates how African nations can enhance their current intellectual property legislation across various regions of the continent, while simultaneously fostering the development of local industries and stimulating innovation and creativity within the region. Despite intellectual property remaining a major issue in global trade governance, African countries have room to maximise the advantages that global intellectual property law can offer. Highlighting discourse on investment, intellectual property, and competition policies in Africa, the book underscores the need for African nations to develop intellectual property frameworks that can facilitate economic transformation. Using data from international intellectual property conventions, WTO dispute settlements and African regional organisation conventions, the book is a comprehensive call to action for African intellectual property lawyers and policymakers. The book will be of interest to students and scholars in the field of intellectual property law and international investment law.

Book Synopsis Fragmentation and the European Patent System by : Karen Walsh
Download or read book Fragmentation and the European Patent System written by Karen Walsh and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-08-11 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth study on current perceptions of, and responses to, fragmentation in the European patent system (EPS). For decades, attempts have been made to address this fragmentation by introducing a unitary patent system. The most recent attempt, the EU unitary patent system, will be the first of its kind. It is expected to significantly change the EPS. However, rather than reducing existing fragmentation, it will likely add to it. Based on an analysis of the current and forthcoming system, the book argues that the inherent nature of fragmentation within the EPS needs to be recognised and suggests that a multifaceted approach is required to respond to it. Uniquely, it draws on work regarding fragmentation outside of the patent and intellectual property regimes, gaining insights from both European law-making and the international legal system. These insights are used to investigate current responses to fragmentation in the EPS. Interpretations of substantive patent law are examined, including claim construction (Actavis v Eli Lily), exceptions to patentability related to uses of human embryos for industrial or commercial purposes (WARF, Brüstle, ISCC), and products resulting from essentially biological processes (Broccoli and Tomatoes II, G3/19). Attempts towards convergence in these areas have had mixed results and in some instances fragmentation may be necessary. However, similar techniques to those applied in the international legal system to respond to fragmentation are being used in the EPS, and, where this is seen, it has been to good effect. It is argued that these methods should be recognised, structured, and promoted to make our response to fragmentation more effective. Fragmentation and the European Patent System will be of interest to academics, students and practitioners looking for a new perspective on the EPS.
Book Synopsis Copyright Exhaustion by : Péter Mezei
Download or read book Copyright Exhaustion written by Péter Mezei and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-02-24 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Second Edition of Copyright Exhaustion, copyright scholar Péter Mezei offers an expanded examination of copyright exhaustion, including its historical development, theoretical framework, practical applications, and policy considerations. He includes updated case law and statutory developments for the first-sale doctrine in the United States and in the European Union, covering both analogue and digital applications with an eye toward scrutinizing the common rejection of exhaustion in the resale of digital subject matter including computer programs, sound recordings, audiovisual works, and e-books. He advocates for a digital first-sale doctrine that would offer legal consistency to copyright law and a technologically feasible framework for content producers and consumers.
