Because, There is a Cause....	M. Qaiser & P. Mohan Chandran	General Intellectual Property	5/1/06	258	6.5/10
Abstract:	A patent acquired to stop others from patenting the invention with the intention to serve social cause is termed as ‘social patenting.’The idea is catching on because several big companies want to take visible actions that showcase their social responsibility. A copyleft is to copyright, what a social patent is to a patent. If you apply the principles and motivations of the social patents to a copyright, it will be termed as copyleft.

Copyright and Open Source Licensing of Software Work	Pratibha Gupta	Other Intellectual Property	2/24/08	335	9/10
Abstract:	Copyright law does not protect any particular idea. Rather, copyright protects only the expression of that idea. The fundamental purpose of open source licensing is to deny anybody the right to exclusively exploit a work. Typically, in order to permit their works to reach a broad audience, and, incidentally, to make some sort of living from making works, creators are required to surrender all, or substantially all, of the rights granted by copyright to those entities that are capable of distributing and thereby exploiting that work. There are about 66 types of Open source Licenses approved and recommended by Open source initiative. The General Public License is the most common license. Their basic idea in imposing such a restriction, the so-called Copyleft , was to ensure software access to developers and to prevent software from being captured by proprietary software interests. The Linux operating system and programs associated with Linux are mostly licensed under GPL licenses. Open Source Software licensing has established a new means of creating Intellectual Property - a resource for creating more business prospects, especially, covering those areas of technology where the quick turn around is must to create and generate more revenues.

Software Patents Workability In India	Sudhir Kumar Aswal	Patent	9/23/06	959	7/10
Abstract:	Software Patent laws in India are still in developing phase. Indian Govt. recognises it only as a literary work and grants copyright prosecution. Though in April 2005 there was a propsle to include the software patents imbedded in hardwares to be patentable but under protest from the software assoiciation in India the same law was not enacted. Still there is way to come out of this situation that is to draft specification in such a manner that invention appears to be of a generic hardware.

The Development of Digital Rights Management	Robert A. Hodgson	Copyright	3/26/05	545	6.6/10
Abstract:	Historically, it has been relatively easy for copyright owners to protect their works from unwanted and unauthorized copying. The cost and difficulty associated with illegal copying was simply too high to allow any such copying to be widespread. However, the appearance of personal computers, and especially the Internet, has lessened the security copyright holders once had against acts of infringement. Due to increasingly efficient technology, such as CD writers and faster, better internet connections, it has become both inexpensive and easy to copy and distribute digital files across the Internet or from hard drive to hard drive.

The European Union and Copyright - An Analysis	S. Nahar	Copyright	2/24/08	315	10/10
Abstract:	The term ‘intellectual property’ became common in the 1960s with the setting up of WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization). However, this is not to imply that the concept of Intellectual Property did not exist before this. In fact, there are a number of theories (such as the Labor Theory by Locke and the Personality Theory propounded by Emmanual Kant and Hegel) which have been used to explain intellectual property and sufficient state practice exists to determine concretely that this concept of granting rights over inventions, aesthetic works and brands is not exactly new. There are certain intellectual property rights which require registration to formally be recognised as rights attributable to the authors. Examples of these would be patents, trademarks etc. However Copyright is one of those, which do not require any formalities. It comes into existence when a work is fixated or recorded in any permanent way. A fundamental question can be posed as regards copyrights: What would be the way to determine in case of different jurisdictions which law and the copyright of which author is to be given protection. The TEU contains a number of provisions, which are directly and indirectly related to the concept of Intellectual property protection. Articles 30 – 36 are related to the elimination of quantitative restrictions on trade between member states to accomplish the free movement of goods. This in itself poses an irreconcilable conflict when it comes to intellectual property rights. The exercise of an intellectual property right that causes market partitioning will be upheld only insofar as the ‘specific subject matter’ of the right is being protected. Article 86 of the TEU also applies to prevent the abuse of dominant position. There is a somewhat novel provision in European Law regarding intellectual property which has attracted considerable criticism as well. This is the concept of exhaustion of rights. Normally, a right-holder possesses an exclusive right over the property in its own area together with the proprietary right over the use of the product in other areas. However, thinking that such a rule would have a potential effect of dividing the Community into a number of self-contained areas the above concept was devised. Here if the right is sought to be extended to other states then it must also face the wider competition of the other states. In this article, the researcher seeks to examine the above-mentioned provisions of the European Union as regards copyright

The Viability of incorporating Secondary Infringement Liability in India	Ankur Gupta	India	5/15/05	338	9.6/10
Abstract:	Liability for secondary infrigement under the Indian Copyright law may help in curbing sale of pirated and bootlegged matter. This key component is missing under the Indian Law. To check the viability of secondary infringement as a tool to crub piracy of copyrighted matter India can take cue from the American experience with secondary Infringement. The article sheds light on the American Experience and advocates that India may also think on the lines of including secondary infringement liability in her Copyright Laws.

Theory of Neighbouring Rights	Prof. Sanjay Pandey	General Intellectual Property	7/19/05	1069	5.5/10
Abstract:	It is not possible to segregate Copyright and neighboring rights so to provide a separate legal regime for protection of neighboring rights. International developments in this area of intellectual property has created so much so trade interest that WIPO, and WTO stand together on the issues of protection and compel the member-countries to bring their domestic laws in conformity with international commitment that facilitates trade. This shows that neighboring rights have acquired a status, from which no relegation is possible now, what is left is to move further and devise stringent legal regime to strengthen these intermediary rights. Both treaties particularly deal with the use of copyright protected works, performances and sound recordings in digital networks, such as the Internet. Authors, performers and phonogram (i.e. record) producers are granted a broadly worded exclusive right of communication to the public, covering interactive services and delivery on demand. Still a lot needs to be done to cope up with the developing aspects of neighboring rights. The world looks ahead to WIPO ‘webcasting’ treaty in order to see a bright dawn of the neighboring rights protection regime.

Trademark Searches as Risk Management	Christine Lebron-Dykeman	Trademark	3/26/05	500	10/10
Abstract:	The value of your company's trademarks will dramatically appreciate through successful use. And, unlike copyrights and patents that eventually expire, trademark rights can last indefinitely if the mark continues to perform a source-indicating function. Because trademarks are an appreciating asset with a potentially perpetual life, it is important to choose them carefully.
