  • The Constitutionality of Design Patents
    CLIFFORD & PELTZ-STEELE - DESIGN PATENTS FINAL - WEBSITE.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 11/27/15 12:54 PM THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF DESIGN PATENTS RALPH D. CLIFFORD* & RICHARD J. PELTZ-STEELE** ABSTRACT Design patents have been part of American law since 1842. In that time, only just over 600,000 design patents have been issued, with more than half of these being granted in the last twenty years. This quantity is dramatically fewer than the number of utility patents issued which is rapidly approaching 9,000,000 issued patents. Possibly because of the low usage of design patents over time, no case law and little literature address the constitutional issues raised by them. This article intends to overcome that shortcoming. Two constitutional aspects of design patents will be examined. First, congressional authority to adopt the design patent laws will be examined. The Constitution in Article I, Section 8, Clause 8 grants Congress specific powers to adopt both patents and copyrights. When a design is examined, it is unclear that it is an invention making its patentability suspect. At the same time, establishing a design as a writing is not problematic, leading to its eligibility for copyright. In this case, the clause itself must be examined to determine if something that qualifies only for copyright protection can nevertheless be granted a patent. The words chosen in the clause, particularly based on the way some of them were used in the Eighteenth Century, suggest that the answer is “no.” Of course, any * Professor of Law at the University of Massachusetts School of Law. I wish to thank the participants at the 2013 Intellectual Property Academic Conference held at the Franklin Pierce Center for Intellectual Property at the University of New Hampshire School of Law and at PatCon4 held at University of San Diego who made many valuable suggestions regarding this article and its improvement.

To exhaustively describe the contours of each of these large bodies of law is beyond the scope of this chapter, but a working understanding of each flavor of intellectual property right is useful for the construction law lawyer. This chapter broadly describes each body of law and focuses on selected issues that arise with more frequency in the construction industry: 1) Copyright protections that exist in architectural plans, drawings, and the constructed buildings themselves; 2) The rights of visual artists; 3) The potential for trademark protection in non-functional and distinctive design and décor features in buildings; and 4) The challenges of trademark protection for larger development projects.

  • Innovation by Design: Differentiator in the Digital Age
    INNOVATION BY DESIGN: DIFFERENTIATOR IN THE DIGITAL AGE Sara Diamond and Linda Lewis Canada’s poor innovation record has been exacerbated by a reluctance to acknowledge design as a key component of innovation. We have the key ingredients for design to make a difference to Canadian innovation — a strong and varied sector, a base of university and college programs, exemplary firms, and proof that design matters. By including design as part of the innovation paradigm (research and development and design), we could radically transform Canada’s lacklustre innovation record into a leadership position. Le design est un facteur clé d’innovation, et la réticence du Canada à reconnaître son importance ne fait qu’aggraver son maigre bilan en la matière. Nous avons pourtant tout ce qu’il faut pour faire du design un accélérateur d’innovation : un secteur dynamique et varié, des programmes universitaires et collégiaux, des entreprises modèles et des données confirmant son rayonnement. Il suffirait d’intégrer le design au paradigme d’innovation (et donc à la recherche-développement) pour redorer le terne bilan du Canada et en faire un pôle mondial d’innovation. With great power comes great design. Designers allow companies to stay ahead of where cus- Mercedes-Benz commercial for 2012 CLS 550, July 2011 tomers are by anticipating and addressing human needs and behaviours in the context of our complex and chang- anada’s poor innovation record has been exacerbat- ing world. “Hard problems” in research are called “wicked ed by a reluctance to acknowledge design as a key problems” by designers; these challenges require intensive C component of innovation.

  • Using Intellectual Property to Establish and Protect Your Firm's
    Using Intellectual Property To Establish and Protect Your Firm’s Architectural, Interiors and Industrial Design Domain By: David R. Gerk, Esq.1 If you were to hear a story about a painter that hosted an exhibit in Manhattan early in the afternoon and then simply left the gallery for a celebratory dinner leaving the front door to the gallery wide open for any and for all to come through and take her works of art, wouldn’t you consider this painter to be somewhat foolish? Likewise, wouldn’t you be puzzled if you were told a story about a movie producer that knew bootleggers were likely to copy his newest blockbuster and sell it on the city streets in advance of the release date, but the producer refused do anything to stop these thieves even though he knew how to prevent the bootleg copies from coming into existence? Lastly, if you read in the morning paper that a company decided to let its main competitor sell duplicate copies of its best selling products, but did not receive any royalties whatsoever in exchange, wouldn’t you suspect there was a misprint in that paper? While each of these scenarios sounds outrageous, blatant misappropriations as severe as these are very real. Perhaps even scarier is the fact that equally substantial misappropriations may be happening to you or your company on a regular basis. Designers, architects and virtually any person or entity that makes a living based upon the creative products or services they provide may simply be giving their most valuable asset away and not even know it.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Cornell Law Review by an authorized administrator of Scholarship@Cornell Law: A Digital Repository. For more information, please contact [email protected]. INNOVATION AND IMITATION: ARTISTIC ADVANCE AND THE LEGAL PROTECTION OF ARCHITECTURAL WORKS Architectural design represents a unique combination of innovation and imitation. One commentator has noted that "an uneasy balance between influence and originality" exists within the profession.1 Imita- tion may play a greater role in advancement in architecture than in other forms of intellectual property that the law protects against copy- ing. Nevertheless, architectural work must be protected to encourage original and creative design. Thus, proper protection of architectural works requires independent consideration and individualized legisla- tion. This Note evaluates the appropriate level of protection for archi- tectural works in light of the need to encourage progressive architectural creativity without precluding architectural imitation. Section I exam- ines the current protection afforded architectural works under the Copy- right Act of 1976, the Patent Act, and the common law of torts.

  • Chapter 6: Design and Design Frameworks: Investing in KBC and Economic Performance
    323 | DESIGN AND DESIGN FRAMEWORKS: INVESTMENT IN KBC AND ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE CHAPTER 6. DESIGN AND DESIGN FRAMEWORKS: INVESTMENT IN KBC AND ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE This chapter addresses the nature and the economic impact of design by looking at design-related intellectual property and how businesses protect their knowledge based capital. The chapter reviews the nature and various definitions of design and how design-related IP, specifically registered designs, relates to other formal IP mechanisms such as patents, trademarks, and copyright. It looks at the primary areas of design activity in a subset of OECD countries and investigates the similarities and differences of the constituent design IP regimes as well as the various treaties governing international design IP regulation. The review continues with an examination of how design-related IP functions in comparison to and in conjunction with other formal and informal IP protection mechanisms and what factors motivate firms to choose and appropriate combinations of protection mechanisms. By examining historical patterns of design registrations in a variety of ways, this chapter identifies trends, at the national level, of how firms perceive the importance of design-related IP. Analysis of national origins of registrations in both the European Community and the United States provides an indicator of the activity of those countries’ businesses relative to their proximities to the markets. It explores the existence of possible alternative indicators for design activity and of industry-specific variations across the sample set. The chapter concludes with a review of input and output measures as stated in the limited set of studies that have endeavoured to establish or quantify the value and/or benefit of design and design-related IP.

  • Trademarks by Design: Combining Design Patents and Trademarks to Protect Your Intellectual Property
    TRADEMARKS BY DESIGN: COMBINING DESIGN PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS TO PROTECT YOUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY Robert S. Katz Helen Hill Minsker Design patents and trademarks are separate species of intellectual property (IP), but each can provide significant commercial advantages to their owners. Design patents grant the inventor exclusive rights to the invention for a period of fourteen years, but at the end of that time, the invention is dedicated to the public. Trademarks, if properly maintained, can exist forever. With the growing importance of IP rights, old ideas, such as combining trademarks and design patents, deserve another look as a means to accomplish this. Moreover, with the Supreme Court’s recent declaration in Wal- Mart Stores, Inc., v. Samara Brothers, Inc., 529 U.S. ___ (2000), that secondary meaning is required before certain types of product designs are entitled to trade dress protection, design patents may be the most effective way to ward off infringers while secondary meaning for trademarks and/or trade dress is established. This article addresses the relationship between design patent protection and trademark protection. THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK The Patent Law provides for the granting of design patents to any person who has invented any new, original and ornamental design for an article of manufacture. Design patents cover the way an article looks, and may be drawn to the shape/configuration of an article, surface ornamentation applied to the article, or a combination of both. A design patent does not need to be directed to the entire article, and claiming a portion of the article is permitted, In re Zahn, 617 F.2d 261 (CCPA 1980).
