US Constitutional Issues

Federal government authorized to regulate patents & copyrights

Article I, Section 8 of Constitution stipulates federal promotion of “progress of science and useful arts by securing for limited times to authors and inventors exclusive rights to their writings and discoveries

New laws passed in 1990s, 2000s

Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) gives more rights to copyright ownersTrademark protection strengthened

Sound recordings more strongly protected

Copyright length extended

Criminal penalties for TM counterfeits increasedNew laws for theft of trade secretsNew penalties even for IP theft without personal gainNew IP policy council for enforcement coordination

Slide10

Some Current Problems with IP Law

Copyright

restrictions too long?

Patents being used to suppress innovationPurchased by competitors,

then deep-sixed

Patent trolls extort money

from victims using overly broad patentsArtists (e.g., film-makers) limited in portrayal of reality by trademark/copyright ownersRestrictions on use of entertainment limits teachers

EULAs in shrink-wrapped/electronic software overly restrictive

Slide11

Excuses for Violating IP Laws – to Analyze

Everyone’s doing it.

We won’t get caught.

It’s the {software, music, gave, movie} company’s fault: if they don’t want theft, they

should charge less.

But I need it and I don’t want to pay

for it.It doesn’t hurt anyone.

It only hurts a company – I wouldn’t

steal it from an individual.

No software/music/game/movie

should ever be copyrighted--it should always be free.
