The Individual Inventor Motif in the Age of the Patent Troll
Cotropia: THE INDIVIDUAL INVENTOR MOTIF THE INDIVIDUAL INVENTOR MOTIF IN THE AGE OF THE PATENT TROLL Christopher A. Cotropia* 12 YALE J.L. & TECH. 52 (2009) ABSTRACT The individual inventor motif has been part of American patent law since its inception. The question is whether the recent patent troll hunt has damaged the individual inventor's image and, in turn, caused Congress, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and the courts to become less concerned with patent law's impact on the small inventor. This Article explores whether there has been a change in attitude by looking at various sources from legislative, administrative, and judicial actors in the patent system, such as congressional statements and testimony in discussions of the recent proposed patent reform legislation, the USPTO's two recently proposedsets ofpatent rules and responses to comments on those rules, and recent Supreme Court patent decisions. These sources indicate that the rhetoric of the motif has remained unchanged, but its substantive impact is essentially nil. The motif has done little to stave off the increasingly anti- individual-inventor changes in substantive patent law. This investigation also provides a broader insight into the various governmental institutions' roles in patent law by illustrating how different institutions have responded-or not responded-to the use of the individual inventor motif in legal andpolicy arguments. * Professor of Law, Intellectual Property Institute, University of Richmond Law School.

The Virtual Worlds of Japanese Cyberpunk
arts Article New Spaces for Old Motifs? The Virtual Worlds of Japanese Cyberpunk Denis Taillandier College of International Relations, Ritsumeikan University, Kyoto 603-8577, Japan; aelfi[email protected] Received: 3 July 2018; Accepted: 2 October 2018; Published: 5 October 2018 Abstract: North-American cyberpunk’s recurrent use of high-tech Japan as “the default setting for the future,” has generated a Japonism reframed in technological terms. While the renewed representations of techno-Orientalism have received scholarly attention, little has been said about literary Japanese science fiction. This paper attempts to discuss the transnational construction of Japanese cyberpunk through Masaki Goro’s¯ Venus City (V¯ınasu Shiti, 1992) and Tobi Hirotaka’s Angels of the Forsaken Garden series (Haien no tenshi, 2002–). Elaborating on Tatsumi’s concept of synchronicity, it focuses on the intertextual dynamics that underlie the shaping of those texts to shed light on Japanese cyberpunk’s (dis)connections to techno-Orientalism as well as on the relationships between literary works, virtual worlds and reality. Keywords: Japanese science fiction; cyberpunk; techno-Orientalism; Masaki Goro;¯ Tobi Hirotaka; virtual worlds; intertextuality 1. Introduction: Cyberpunk and Techno-Orientalism While the inversion is not a very original one, looking into Japanese cyberpunk in a transnational context first calls for a brief dive into cyberpunk Japan. Anglo-American pioneers of the genre, quite evidently William Gibson, but also Pat Cadigan or Bruce Sterling, have extensively used high-tech, hyper-consumerist Japan as a motif or a setting for their works, so that Japan became in the mid 1980s the very exemplification of the future, or to borrow Gibson’s (2001, p. -
ELEMENTS of FICTION – NARRATOR / NARRATIVE VOICE Fundamental Literary Terms That Indentify Components of Narratives “Fiction
Dr. Hallett ELEMENTS OF FICTION – NARRATOR / NARRATIVE VOICE Fundamental Literary Terms that Indentify Components of Narratives “Fiction” is defined as any imaginative re-creation of life in prose narrative form. All fiction is a falsehood of sorts because it relates events that never actually happened to people (characters) who never existed, at least not in the manner portrayed in the stories. However, fiction writers aim at creating “legitimate untruths,” since they seek to demonstrate meaningful insights into the human condition. Therefore, fiction is “untrue” in the absolute sense, but true in the universal sense. Critical Thinking – analysis of any work of literature – requires a thorough investigation of the “who, where, when, what, why, etc.” of the work. Narrator / Narrative Voice Guiding Question: Who is telling the story? …What is the … Narrative Point of View is the perspective from which the events in the story are observed and recounted. To determine the point of view, identify who is telling the story, that is, the viewer through whose eyes the readers see the action (the narrator). Consider these aspects: A. Pronoun p-o-v: First (I, We)/Second (You)/Third Person narrator (He, She, It, They] B. Narrator’s degree of Omniscience [Full, Limited, Partial, None]* C. Narrator’s degree of Objectivity [Complete, None, Some (Editorial?), Ironic]* D. Narrator’s “Un/Reliability” * The Third Person (therefore, apparently Objective) Totally Omniscient (fly-on-the-wall) Narrator is the classic narrative point of view through which a disembodied narrative voice (not that of a participant in the events) knows everything (omniscient) recounts the events, introduces the characters, reports dialogue and thoughts, and all details. -
Literary Motif of Pain in the Framework of Cognitive Narratology
Science and Education a New Dimension. Philology, VII(60), Issue: 204, 2019 Sept. www.seanewdim.com Literary motif of pain in the framework of cognitive narratology I. O. Koliesnik Kyiv National Linguistic University Paper received 25.08.19; Revised 07.09.19; Accepted for publication 11.09.19. https://doi.org/10.31174/SEND-Ph2019-204VII60-11 Abstract. This article investigates the literary motif of pain with regards to current findings of cognitive narratology and the philosophy of mind, used to highlight the conceptual nature of this phenomenon. Recurrent identifiable patterns of the said motif are likely, as this research suggests, to reveal not only its complicated internal structure in the narrative realization, but also serve as another compelling proof of the human mind operating in a pattern-recognition mode. The article expounds the above idea by presenting a case-study of E. Hemingway’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls” in terms of the motif of pain. Keywords: literary motif, cognitive narratology, pattern, narrative, pattern-recognition mode, pain.

Insights from Psychology for Copyright's Originality
File: Hutchison Created on: 4/2/2012 10:04:00 AM Last Printed: 4/2/2012 10:04:00 AM 101 INSIGHTS FROM PSYCHOLOGY FOR COPYRIGHT’S ORIGINALITY DOCTRINE CAMERON HUTCHISON* INTRODUCTION The discipline of psychology has much to offer the law of copyright.1 For example, determining whether a work is original in a legal sense implicates, and may be enriched by, the psychology of creativity. This article is a foray into the linkage between psychological understandings of creativity and the legal standard of originality. While the methodologies and approaches to the psycho- logical sub-discipline of creativity are many, certain frameworks are chosen that seem most relevant and probative to the task: psychoanalysis (specifically, Jung- ian psychoanalysis),2 experimental psychology (specifically, the cognitive sci- ence of creativity or “cognitive creativity”),3 and social psychology (specifical- ly, systems theory).4 In the legal sense, originality means both that a work originated from the author (“authorial originality”) and that it satisfies a threshold of creativity, or in Canadian legal parlance, “skill and judgment” (“creative originality”).5 Although legal assessment of the former is necessarily process-oriented, for * Associate Professor, University of Alberta Faculty of Law, [email protected].

Creative Conflict in Writing Return of the Jedi Ewoks
V. 12 – N. 1 - jan./ abr. 2021 ISSN: 2179-1465 / https://www.revistageminis.ufscar.br Brett Davies Meiji University EWOKS VERSUS DEAD HEROES: CREATIVE CONFLICT IN Tokyo, Japan WRITING RETURN OF THE JEDI EWOKS CONTRA HERÓIS MORTOS: CONFLITO CRIATIVO NA ESCRITA DE RETURN OF THE JEDI ABSTRACT The original Star Wars trilogy established a storytelling model that still influences Hollywood filmmaking today. However, the third episode in the saga, Return of the Jedi (1983), was received less favorably than its predecessors by critics. This article will examine historical record and analyze aspects of syuzhet (‘plot’) and fabula (‘story’) (BORDWELL, 1985, pp. 49-50) in the screenplay in order to establish why Return of the Jedi works less successfully as a narrative than the first two films. The results of the investigation suggest that this was due to a fundamental philosophical conflict between screenwriters George Lucas and Lawrence Kasdan. Keywors: Star Wars, George Lucas, Lawrence Kasdan, syuzhet, fabula. RESUMO A trilogia original de Star Wars estabeleceu um modelo de narrativa que ainda hoje influencia o cinema de Hollywood. No entanto, o terceiro episódio da saga, Return of the Jedi (1983), foi recebido pela crítica de forma menos favorável do que seus antecessores. Este artigo examinará o registro histórico e analisará aspectos de syuzhet ('enredo') e fabula ('história') (BORDWELL, 1985, pp. 49-50) no roteiro, a fim de estabelecer porque Return of the Jedi teve menos sucesso como narrativa em comparação aos dois primeiros filmes. Os resultados da investigação sugerem que isso se deveu a um conflito filosófico fundamental entre os roteiristas George Lucas e Lawrence Kasdan.
