The Philosophical Foundations of Investment-Driven IP: On Reason, Faith, and Pluralism
No full textIt seems, once again, that intellectual property law is shifting beneath our feet. As Robert Merges put it a decade ago, if IP were a city, then the old city centre is today ‘surrounded by new buildings and new neighbourhoods, knots of urban growth, budding in every direction, far off into the distance’.1 That old city centre was built during the nineteenth-century age of possessive individualism.2 Ideologies of the romantic author and sole inventor helped erect the city’s foundational principle that one deserves ownership in the products of mental labour.3 Yet, in the early twentieth century, US Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis could still write that ‘the general rule of law is, that the noblest of human production – knowledge, truths ascertained, conceptions, and ideas – become, after voluntary communication to others, free as the air to common use’.4 A century later, that general rule rings less true.5 Investment-driven rights, and investment-driven extensions to old rights, have helped expand the city’s boundaries. What started out as a small cadre of related rights, sui generis rights, and quasi-IP rights now contribute to an urban sprawl of new neighbourhoods spreading as far as the eye can see. New denizens – the trivially creative and insignificantly innovative goods explored in this volume – now are protected inside the city’s walls. What was the city of Intellectual Property has become the city of Investment Property

Collin) Le 17 juillet 1908, Vere Goold quitte le dépôt de Saint-Martin de Ré pour embarquer sur « La Loire » à destination de la Guyane et de son bagne qui aura rapidement raison de lui puisqu’il y meurt le 19 avril 1909 à l’âge de 56 ans1.

An investigation into the significance and employment of religious beliefs in schizophrenia
No full textThe study investigated the use of religious beliefs by schizophrenic subjects. It is suggested that the primary function of religious belief is sote-riological. Amongst schizophrenic subjects this was related to defending against the existential experience of entropy. Religious beliefs functioned to provide security from the perceived chaos and threatened collapse of the individual's assumptive world. Schizophrenia is understood as a functional disorder. Medical, social and psychological models were considered. Contributions from cognitive psychology were examined and particularly from personal construct theory. A personal construct theory approach was adopted and a methodology designed for the study. Results from a pilot trial led to the employment of a fuzzy logic for data collection in the main study. A fuzzy scored repertory grid was applied with other instruments developed for the investigation. Schizophrenic subjects were contrasted and compared with subjects from psychiatric hospital, general hospital and non-hospital control groups. The principal hypothesis that schizophrenic subjects employ religious beliefs as a defence against entropy was elaborated through four sub-hypotheses. The results were generally consistent with the hypothesis. Schizophrenic subjects demonstrated a greater intensity of belief compared to non-hospital subjects, which was not as marked when contrasted with other controls. Irrespective of mood changes following treatment as hospital in-patients, schizophrenic subjects remained consistent in their construing of the religious domain. The study provides a foundation for incorporating fuzzy logic in future methodological developments of the repertory grid. The application of fuzzy scored repertory grids to religion and religious beliefs in schizophrenia, opens new areas of therapeutic potential in the care of people diagnosed as schizophrenic. </p
IP Accidents: Negligence Liability in Intellectual Property
No full textIn the twenty-first century, it has become easy to break IP law accidentally. The challenges presented by orphan works, independent invention or IP trolls are merely examples of a much more fundamental problem: IP accidents. This book argues that IP law ought to govern accidental infringement much like tort law governs other types of accidents. In particular, the accidental infringer ought to be liable in IP law only when their conduct was negligent. The current strict liability approach to IP infringement was appropriate in the nineteenth century, when IP accidents were far less frequent. But in the Information Age, where accidents are increasingly common, efficiency, equity, and fairness support the reform of IP to a negligence regime. Patrick R. Goold provides the most coherent explanation of how property and tort interact within the field of IP, contributing to a clearer understanding of property and tort law and private law generally
