电子商务中知识产权纠纷的可仲裁性

现代社会中电子商务活动日渐普遍,电子商务中知识产权的纠纷也逐渐增多。具体到知识产权纷争的解决途径,除司法审判和行政查处外,仲裁将成为解决知识产权纠纷的第三条有效途径。电子商务知识产权纠纷的可仲裁性,不但有程序法和实体法的依据,也有现实社会发展的紧迫需要。电子商务中涉及私权处分的知识产权纠纷,通过传统的书面仲裁协议或者在网络上明示并经交易对方认可的仲裁条款,都将赋予仲裁机关管辖权,使得该知识产权纠纷具有可仲裁性。在新的历史条件下,仲裁机构应当与时俱进地加以改革。     

Legal origin and intellectual property rights: an empirical study in the prerecorded music sector

This article aims at identifying differences in copyright protection in prerecorded music markets, and more specifically the impact of the legal system on the demand for original music CDs. To this end, we use a panel of 28 OECD countries in the period 1999–2005. After testing alternative specifications, our results show that differences in legal origin lead to differences in intellectual property rights enforcement. Our results also consistent with previous studies that find that common law countries have more secure property rights.

Prescribing privacy: the uncertain role of the physician in the protection of patient privacy

Because medical records are now more comprehensive than ever before, they increasingly are being demanded for uses both inside and outside of the medical profession. Mr. Gellman contends that existing ethical and legal guidance is inadequate to aid physicians in dealing with the confidentiality issues raised when patient information is requested or demanded from them, and supports this contention by examining the dilemmas faced by physicians presented with such requests or demands. He concludes that ethical and judicial guidance will continue to be inadequate, and that the only practical way to develop suitable guidance is through legislation.     

知识产权的客体和知识产权的内部统一性

知识产权的内部统一性的核心是如何概括知识产权的客体，既有理论均不能概括出知识产权客体的本质。由于知识产权几种主要权利类型的客体之间的重大差异，实际上无法抽象出知识产权权利客体之“一般”，但却可以从中抽象出客体之“一般特征”。知识产权客体的一般特征是：具有可共享性，因而必须借助法律才可能私权化。这一特征是知识产权内部统一性的根据，也决定了知识产权法体系化的可行模式。     

Federal laboratories: Economic development and intellectual property constraints

The United States is increasingly looking at ways to link public-sector investments in science and technology with national economic-development goals. The federal laboratories are a reflection of this trend and much has been done to make them a more attractive source for innovative ideas in the private sector. One significant change that has resulted in making the laboratories more interactive with US industry has been the easing of government patent policy for both government-and contractor-operated national laboratories. However, there still are intellectual-property constraints, especially in the areas of technical data and software, that need immediate attention if the full intent of technology-transfer legislation is to be met. Previously he was a science policy analyst in the US General Accounting Office's Resource, Community and Economic Development Division.
