Download or read book Der Schutz geistigen Eigentums bei digitalen Innovationen written by Guy Knipping and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2008-12-02 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Die Diskussionen über die Vorteile und Nachteile vom Schutz geistigen Eigentums reichen viele Jahre zurück. Die konventionelle Sicht geht davon aus, dass durch die alleinigen Verwertungsrechte eines innovativen Produktes Anreize geschaffen werden, neue innovative Produkte zu schaffen, und somit der Wohlstand einer Gesellschaft gefördert wird. Die dadurch entstehende Beschränkung des Wettbewerbs gilt als notwendiges Übel eines langfristigen Expansionsprozesses. So können diese Schutzmaßnahmen auf der einen Seite Anreize und Erleichterungen schaffen, um neue Märkte zu erschließen, aber auch neue Innovationen hemmen und durch eine befristete Monopolstellung Ineffizienzen hervorrufen. Im Besonderen gilt dies für Märkte, in denen sehr schnell neue Innovationen auf vorherigen Innovationen aufbauen wie z.B. in der Softwareindustrie. Die zunehmende Nutzung des Internets hat den Schutz geistigen Eigentums vor neue Herausforderungen gestellt. Denn digitalisierte Produkte wie Bücher, Software oder Musik, die im Internet publiziert werden, können ohne Qualitätsverlust kopiert werden. Da das Kopieren häufig anonym und mit geringem Kostenaufwand möglich ist, haben Urheber, und im Besonderen die Verwertungsindustrie, Druck auf den Gesetzgeber ausgeübt, die Gesetzte den sich ändernden Umständen anzupassen. So werden zunehmend Aufwendungen betrieben, bestehende Produkte technisch und gesetzlich vor Wettbewerbern zu schützen, anstatt diese Anstrengungen in die Weiterentwicklung zu investieren. Dies wird in der Ökonomie als rent-seeking1 bezeichnet. Gegenwärtig mehren sich die kritischen Stimmen, die den Trend zum stärkeren2 Schutz geistigen Eigentums für ökonomisch schädlich halten. Gerade ein hoch interaktives und dynamisches Umfeld wie das Internet zeigt Charakteristika, dass der Schutz geistigen Eigentums dem eigentlichen Ziel - Förderung der Innovationskraft einer Volkswirtschaft - entgegenwirkt und die Gefahr von Fehlanreizen verstärkt. Dies zeigt sich nicht nur in den durch die befristeten Monopole entstehenden Wohlfahrtsverlusten, sondern auch in verschiedenen Blockadestrategien vieler Rechteinhaber. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, zu analysieren, ob nicht auch ohne staatliche Intervention alleine der Vorsprung, den der erste Benutzer einer Innovation besitzt, genügt, private und unternehmerische Investitionen in Forschung und Entwicklung bzw. in Kreativität zu belohnen und dadurch langfristig höherer Wohlstand einer Gesellschaft [...]

Book excerpt: English summary: The conditions for the generation and dissemination of knowledge and information have changed since the time when intellectual property law attained its present form. These changes constitute challenges for intellectual property law, in particular for rights which aim at promoting innovation (such as patents) or cultural diversity (such as copyright). The contributions to this volume examine the changes from an interdisciplinary and a legal perspective and discuss possible reactions of patent and copyright law.

Download or read book Patents in the Knowledge Based Economy written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-09-11 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume assembles papers commissioned by the National Research Council's Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy (STEP) to inform judgments about the significant institutional and policy changes in the patent system made over the past two decades. The chapters fall into three areas. The first four chapters consider the determinants and effects of changes in patent "quality." Quality refers to whether patents issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) meet the statutory standards of patentability, including novelty, nonobviousness, and utility. The fifth and sixth chapters consider the growth in patent litigation, which may itself be a function of changes in the quality of contested patents. The final three chapters explore controversies associated with the extension of patents into new domains of technology, including biomedicine, software, and business methods.

It not only reflects the state of the art, but will most likely also shape public opinion on public opinion research′ - Olof Petersson, Professor of political science, SNS, Stockholm, Sweden ′The Handbook of Public Opinion Research is very authoritative, well organized, and sensitive to key issues in opinion research around the world. It will be my first choice as a general reference book for orienting users and training producers of opinion polls in Southeast Asia′ - Mahar K. Mangahas, Ph.D., President of Social Weather Stations, Philippines (www.sws.org.ph) ′This is the most comprehensive book on public opinion research to date′ - Robert Ting-Yiu Chung, Secretary-Treasurer, World Association for Public Opinion Research (WAPOR); Director of Public Opinion Programme, The University of Hong Kong Public opinion theory and research are becoming increasingly significant in modern societies as people′s attitudes and behaviours become ever more volatile and opinion poll data becomes ever more readily available. This major new Handbook is the first to bring together into one volume the whole field of public opinion theory, research methodology, and the political and social embeddedness of polls in modern societies. It comprehensively maps out the state-of-the-art in contemporary scholarship on these topics. With over fifty chapters written by distinguished international researchers, both academic and from the commercial sector, this Handbook is designed to: - give the reader an overview of the most important concepts included in and surrounding the term ′public opinion′ and its application in modern social research - present the basic empirical concepts for assessing public opinion and opinion changes in society - provide an overview of the social, political and legal status of public opinion research, how it is perceived by the public and by journalists, and how it is used by governments - offer a review of the role and use of surveys for selected special fields of application, ranging from their use in legal cases to the use of polls in marketing and campaigns. The Handbook of Public Opinion Research provides an indispensable resource for both practitioners and students alike.
Download or read book Towards a European Unfair Competition Law written by Rogier W. De Vrey and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main aim of this book is to discuss the state of unfair competition law in the European Union. In this respect, the various efforts that have been made in the past to come to harmonization of this area of law and the reasons that they were only partially successful are reviewed. In addition, the International and European regulations that refer to unfair competition, like, e.g., the Paris Convention, the TRIPs and the recent 2004 Unfair Commercial Practices Directive are discussed. Also an overview is given of the unfair competition laws in the United Kingdom, Germany and the Netherlands with respect to the 'problem-areas' of slavish imitation, misleading advertising, denigrating one's competitor, trade secrets and finally, misappropriation of valuable trade assets. Unfair competition law is traditionally considered part of intellectual property law. Not only the relation of unfair competition law to intellectual property laws are therefore part of the discussion but also the areas of consumer protection law (since unfair competition law is partly orientated towards consumer protection) and competition (as an economic concept) is the topic of thorough review.

This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Tagung „Biodiversität und Gesellschaft“ diskutierte Themen der Biodiversitätsforschung aus gesellschafts- und geisteswissenschaftlicher Perspektive. Die Einbeziehung dieser Perspektiven in die bisher vor allem naturwissenschaftlich geprägte Forschung ist für die Definitionen von Schutzzielen und Bewertungsmaßstäben sowie für die Entwicklung von Instrumenten für den Schutz und die Nutzung der Biodiversität notwendig. Da insbesondere die Instrumente stets innerhalb komplexer sozialer, ökonomischer und rechtlicher Zusammenhänge eingesetzt werden, müssen diese als gesellschaftliche Rahmenbedingungen berücksichtigt werden. Dazu leistet dieser Tagungsband einen Beitrag, indem er Erkenntnisse verschiedener Disziplinen aufzeigt, die eine fundierte und nachhaltige Auseinandersetzung mit dem Verhältnis des Menschen zur und den Auswirkungen menschlichen Verhaltens auf die Biodiversität eröffnen. The conference “Biodiversity and Society” discussed topics of biodiversity research from the perspective of social sciences and humanities. The inclusion of these perspectives in the until now scientifically orientated biodiversity research is necessary for the definition of conservation goals and value standards, as well as for the development of instruments for the preservation and use of biodiversity. Since the instruments in particular are applied in complex social, economic and legal contexts, these societal conditions should be considered. This proceedings volume presents findings of multiple disciplines and thereby contributes to an integral and fruitful analysis of the human relation to and influence on biodiversity.
Download or read book Spares Repairs and Intellectual Property Rights written by Christopher Heath and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although supplying spare and replacement parts and providing repair services form the basis of many legitimate businesses, many manufacturing enterprises seek to augment the competitive advantage realized at the market stage of selling their main products by attempting to monopolize the market for spares, repairs and refills. Increasingly, companies are using intellectual property laws to devise up-front business strategies to gain exclusive rights in the components of their products. This is the first in-depth analysis of the law in this relatively new and rapidly developing area of practice. It sheds clear light on the conflicting interests of manufacturers, consumers, spare parts makers and the general public; explores the extent to which this kind of business strategy can be more or less successful with respect to the different rights involved, and in different jurisdictions; and highlights the competition issues that inevitably arise. The essays included are revised and updated versions of papers presented at the seventh (2006) of the innovative IP conference organized annually by the Macau Institute of European Studies (IEEM) on intellectual property law and the economic challenges for Asia. Among the topics and issues covered are the following: ; notions of andrepairand and andrecycleand and their legal effects; the limits of IP rights in relation to repair and recycle; legal limits of end user licence agreements (EULAs) and technological protection measures (TPMs); patent exhaustion on repair and recycling; alteration of product andidentityand; the concept of andindirectand or andcontributoryand infringement; design law strategies; and secondary market definitions. The authors give detailed attention to cases in various jurisdictions that have guided and continue to guide business strategies in the field. Jurisdictions treated include the EU, the US, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Korea. In its clarification of the limits and possibilities of business strategies in this area of competition that is just beginning to attract attention, this book will be of great value not only to intellectual property law practitioners but to business people in nearly any field of production, especially where cross-border marketing is involved.

Download or read book European Community Law in the English Courts written by Mads Tønnesson Andenæs and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines from a practical perspective the increasingly significant impact of European Community law on English domestic law and procedure. It examines both the general principles of how EC law is given effect in the English courts, and also the impact that EC law has had on a numberof particular key areas of English law. The highly eminent team of contributors is drawn from members of the judiciary and leading academics and practitioners in the field. The volume will be welcomed by practitioners and scholars alike as an illuminating study of how the domestic legal communityhas responded to the challenges posed by a new legal system which seems fundamentally different in many respects from their own. From the Foreword by Lord Bingham of Cornhill, the Lord Chief Justice 'The book makes plain the pervasive influence of Community Law on broad swathes of our economic and social life. Through the medium of our national courts, Community Law has become a central feature of legal life, and it can no longer be seen (as perhaps it once was) as an arcane study pursued by ahandful of eccentric lawyers with a taste for the occult This is a very interesting book, and a very timely one. The editors are to be congratulated on assembling an outstanding team of judges, practitioners and academics to address these important, topical and challenging issues.'

Download or read book Perspectives on Properties of the Human Genome Project written by F. Scott Kieff and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2003-12-17 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The groundbreaking work of modern genetics that culminated in the Human Genome Project has blazed new pathways in both science and law. As the assertion of property rights generally, and patents in particular, has become increasingly common surrounding the new products and processes of modern biotechnology, the transactions that must occur for downstream research and development to occur have shifted in important ways, in both academic and business settings. Perspectives on Properties of the Human Genome Project addresses the problems raised in this complex area under different regimes of laws and norms to offer hope and help as we wrestle to ensure optimal use of such essential innovations. This unique collection of authors, views, and topics is essential reading for academics, policy-makers, and practitioners in medicine, biology, sociology, management, ethics, law, and economics, and anyone else interested in gaining perspective on the broad interface between biotechnology and property. "This is a gem of a book... [by] a veritable 'who's who' of important contributors to this field.. An interested reader could not ask for a better overview and compendium of serious, thoughtful analysis of this important topic." - Professor Robert P. Merges, University of California at Berkeley School of Law "Kieff's timely and masterful book establishes a modern truth: to translate a scientific discovery into tangible patient benefits requires an intellectual property lawyer. [It] should be read not only by legal scholars but also scientists and the general public." - Dr. Mark Siegler, University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine
