This report is intended as a preliminary roadmap for technology and project investment that will benefit the entire law enforcement community nationwide. Some recommendations are immediate and have more of an engineering flavor, while others are longer term and will require research and development to solve. Some of the opinions in this report are controversial, indeed inflammatory in some circles both inside and outside of law enforcement. They are presented to provide context for technology investment, development, integration, and deployment projects – a roadmap to promote dialog. There are no simple solutions and no fingers need be pointed – but the issues are real. If you are developing technology for law enforcement, they must be considered. Law enforcement is on the front lines of the war on terrorism; the ways and means of terrorism occur at the street level via the day-to-day activities of organized criminal entities. Money, supplies, transportation, weapons, and information are all available and actively facilitated by these organizations. Crime and terrorism are intertwined and sometimes hard to distinguish. Organized crime - street gangs, traditional mafia, outlaw motorcycle gangs, militias, human traffickers, drug cartels – each has a traditional criminal focus on making money accompanied with varying degrees of focus on ideological, social and political issues – the more ideological, the more terrorist-like. Many of these organizations have an international network and presence with cross-border capabilities in a number of domains. Like terrorist groups, they can act as state and non-state proxies in international conflicts where direct confrontation with stronger opponents is to be avoidedi. Where these organizations dominate, regions of lawlessness are common. These “black spots” are defined as physical areas that are outside of effective governmental control. Black spots are dominated by alternative, mostly illicit, authority structures

Information Technology and Lawyers Information Technology and lawyers, at first sight not the most natural combina- tion one can think of. Information Technology is fast, schematic, and futuristic; lawyers are cautious, verbose, and old-fashioned. When one of the authors once told a chemist he was working in the field of IT & Law, the first reaction was: “Is there any connection between the two at all?” This was back in 1995. The influ- ence of IT and in particular the internet on law has become ever greater since, and also the use of IT and in particular the internet by lawyers (the side of the IT & Law diptych this book focuses on) has increased significantly. Currently there is indeed a connection between IT & Law that is also clear to people outside the field, viz.

  • Update IP/IT Law
    Update IP/IT Law Autumn 2009 Update on developments in intellectual property law and information technology Welcome to our update on developments in intellectual property and information technology law. In this issue: Trade Mark Infringement and eBay – the next chapter Termination of Contracts Without Cause Exclusion clauses after NetTV Trade Mark Infringement and eBay – the Next Chapter In L’Oreal S.A. and others v eBay International A.G., the High Court took the same line as the US, French and Belgian courts in actions brought by L’Oreal against eBay, in holding that eBay was not jointly liable with individual sellers who were using eBay’s auction site to sell counterfeit products. Background L’Oreal owns various UK and EU Community trade marks for perfume, cosmetics and hair care products and brought trade mark infringement proceedings against several individuals who had allegedly sold counterfeit products on eBay’s auction site, using L’Oreal’s trade marks. L’Oreal claimed that eBay was jointly liable for the trade mark infringements committed by the individual defendants and claimed an injunction against eBay to restrain future infringements under Article 11 of the EU Directive on the enforcement of intellectual property rights (the “Enforcement Directive”), which allows intellectual property rights owners to obtain an injunction against intermediaries whose services are used by a third party for infringement purposes. Decision The High Court held that the sale of the counterfeit products by the individual defendants infringed L’Oreal’s trade marks, but that eBay was not jointly liable, as it had not participated in a “common design” to infringe L’Oreal’s trade marks nor had it “intended and procured” the individual infringing acts and was under no duty to prevent infringement of third parties’ trade marks.
