  • Reinventing Discovery: Patent Law’S Characterizations of and Interventions Upon Science
    _________________________________ SYMPOSIUM SCHOLAR _________________________________ REINVENTING DISCOVERY: PATENT LAW’S CHARACTERIZATIONS OF AND INTERVENTIONS UPON SCIENCE † ARIEL SIMON This Article concerns the sway of intellectual property law over scientists and their institutions. Patent monopolies encourage scientists and innovators to invent, but we rarely ask “as opposed to doing what?” I argue that the “what” is, at least some of the time, “basic” (nonpatentable) scientific research and discovery. This Article questions the viability of the discovery/invention distinction in patent law and considers the consequences that it has long had on the scientific enterprise. This Article has four aims: (1) to re-engage a once-vibrant conversation about what, if any, property rights should inhere to “basic” scientific research products at the margins of existing categories of intellectual property law; (2) to contrast patent law’s consequential and idiosyncratic characterizations of “ba- sic” and “applied” science with those of other disciplines; (3) to highlight the distortions that patents foist upon the scientific enterprise by attaching monopo- lies to some research products but not others—affecting the distribution of scien- tific talent, the focus of research, the investment priorities of public and private actors, and so on; and (4) to reconsider the government’s approach to basic- research funding. A view of patents as a legal construct layered upon science, In its Symposium Scholar Essay Competition, the Law Review solicited entries from law school students and recent graduates on the topic of intellectual property reform. The following piece was selected as the winner. † J.D., Stanford Law School, 2007; M.Sc. (Biology), Oxford University, 2004; B.A.

    Home Festival History News Pre-Festival Stuff Festival Time Newbie? Witterings Links Site Map News Snippets - August 2008 to August 2009 2007-2008 | 2006-2007 Fringe 2009 ticket sales and other statistics posted September 1st, 2009. Initial statistics have been put out by the Fringe Society for the 2009 festival. They are summarised in The Guardian and The Scotsman. The headline figure is a new record of 1.85m tickets sold. This beats the previous record of 1.7m in 2007 by 9%. Other stats include: 18,901 performers in 34,265 performances of 2,098 shows; comedy made up 35% of the overall programme, theatre 28% and music 16%. While there is no breakdown of audience figures so far the feedback from some venues appears to indicate that increases in attendances at comedy shows may well be attributable to the Scots. As previously stated, despite apprehension in various quarters buoyant ticket sales are not totally unexpected this year. 2010 and 2011 will be more problematic years as the effects of the recession impact on employment numbers. Comedy is least likely to be affected as its audience tends to be younger and is more likely to have the necessary disposable income. Fringe venues complain about costs posted August 30th, 2009. The Scotsman reported that Fringe chief, Kath Mainland, is to meet venue chiefs who are concerned about rising costs and the future viability of medium-sized venues. More on the expense of putting on shows at the festival posted August 30th, 2009. This time it is Tommy Sheppard, director of The Stand Comedy Club, writing in The Scotsman on the difficulties faced by comedians.

Lois expresses herself in a way that puts an emphasis on the humor and on the people she meets along the way. The observations of her companions and the locals made the story as rich as the ride itself. My own experience with motorcycle travel has lead me to the belief that itrsquo;s all about the people and Lois rides with an open mind and an open heart expecting the best from people and receiving it, more often that not.
