As growth in advanced economies has seemingly become more dependent on technological change, the stakes in intellectual property rights have grown. Software and biotechnology, both relatively new areas to come under the patent umbrella, have brought the debate to a fevered pitch in recent years. The focus on high-tech industries has been especially bright over the last couple of decades. The 1980s saw a flurry of legislative changes, includ- ing two that made it easier to obtain patents for publicly funded research. Today, we still wrestle with the aftermath of several legislative changes and legal precedents. Those who believe that patents indeed provide sig- nificant incentives for innovation are generally pleased with recent changes in patent protection, although most still acknowledge the need for more systematic reform of the system. But skeptics worry about several problems, including the strategic use of patents to inhibit innovation. This collection of essays provides a state-of-the-art analysis of intellec- tual property rights issues in two frontier industries, software and biotech- nology. It is the result of an AEI-Brookings Joint Center conference held on April 30, 2004. The authors examine a number of fundamental intellectual property issues. These include the general impact of patents on innovation, the measured effects of software patents, the design of optimal software patents, the old patent problems that new technologies have raised afresh, the use of an open source model in biomedical research, and the research conditions that often dictate how intellectual property is dealt with in an industry. After evaluating a number of features of the current system of ix x INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN FRONTIER INDUSTRIES intellectual property, the authors make some recommendations for reform and suggest areas for future research.

H AHN, Executive Director ROBERT E. LITAN, Director AEI-Brookings Joint Center for Regulatory Studies 1 Introduction Robert W. Hahn Despite decades of research and debate, key questions about the insti- tutional framework protecting intellectual property (IP) have yet to be answered satisfactorily. And the appearance of exciting new technologies in recent years has made the questions all the more urgent. Accordingly, in the spring of 2004 the Joint Center brought together leading scholars to address the protection of intellectual property rights in two frontier indus- tries, software and biotechnology. Specifically, the center asked the special- ists to focus on the issue of how intellectual property protection can best be designed to spur innovation without inhibiting follow-on research or deny- ing the public access to the fruits of technological change. This volume contains their responses. Before reviewing their conclusions, I offer some perspective on the path that intellectual property rights have taken with respect to high-technology innovation. The 1980s and 1990s saw a series of precedent-setting court decisions that dramatically altered the way the law protects property rights in both software and biotechnology. Pivotal Cases for Software IP Protection In the 1970s, when software emerged as a product distinct from hardware, the law categorized computer programs as mathematical algorithms. As such, software could not be patented.1 The Supreme Court confirmed this I would like to thank Iain Cockburn, Wes Cohen, and Arti Rai for helpful suggestions and comments in drafting this chapter. 1 2 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN FRONTIER INDUSTRIES interpretation in 1972, when it struck down a patent granted on a new and faster process for converting decimal numbers to binary numbers.2 A hand- ful of patents awarded later in the 1970s could be classified as software patents today. But, by and large, the 1972 ruling remained unchallenged for the next decade.3 The common view was that software was best protected by copyright. Accordingly, copyright law formally expanded in 1980 to include software.4 In 1981, another Supreme Court ruling dramatically changed IP pro- tection for software.5 While it did not fully establish the software patenting standards in place today, the Diamond v. Diehr decision set the stage for later precedent-setting decisions that extended protection to software. Diehr had developed software for “molding raw, uncured synthetic rubber into cured precision products.”6 The court found this patent valid, reasoning “a claim drawn to subject matter otherwise statutory does not become non- statutory because a computer is involved.”7 Justice Rehnquist, who wrote for the majority, noted that “the claims must be considered as a whole.”8 The Diamond v. Diehr ruling established that algorithms in a patentee’s software were not protected as abstract ideas but in their application in a physical process, such as rubber curing.9 Software in isolation remained nonpatentable, but creative patent attorneys were now able to wrap soft- ware innovations into patents for tangible processes

  • Nokido Ju-Jitsu & Judo Student Handbook
    Nokido Ju-Jitsu & Judo Student Handbook North Port, Florida Shihan Earl DelValle HISTORY OF JU-JITSU AND NOKIDO JU-JITSU Ju-Jitsu (Japanese: 柔術), is a Japanese Martial Art and a method of self defense. The word Ju- Jitsu is often spelled as Jujutsu, Jujitsu, Jiu-jutsu or Jiu-jitsu. "Jū" can be translated to mean "gentle, supple, flexible, pliable, or yielding." "Jitsu" can be translated to mean "art" or "technique" and represents manipulating the opponent's force against himself rather than directly opposing it. Ju-Jitsu was developed among the samurai of feudal Japan as a method for defeating an armed and unarmed opponent in which one uses no weapon. There are many styles (ryu) and variations of the art, which leads to a diversity of approaches, but you will find that the different styles have similar, if not the same techniques incorporated into their particular style. Ju-Jitsu schools (ryū) may utilize all forms of grappling techniques to some degree (i.e. throwing, trapping, restraining, joint locks, and hold downs, disengagements, escaping, blocking, striking, and kicking). Japanese Ju-Jitsu grew during the Feudal era of Japan and was expanded by the Samurai Warriors. The first written record of Ju-Jitsu was in 1532 by Hisamori Takeuchi. Takenouchi Ryu Ju-Jitsu is the oldest style of Ju-jitsu and is still practiced in Japan. There are hundreds of different Ju-Jitsu styles that have been documented and are practiced today, one of which is our modern style of Ju-Jitsu, Nokido Ju-Jitsu. Ju-Jitsu is said to be the father of all Japanese Martial Arts.

The cover of the card had a photo of a woman applying It had been three weeks and two days (but who's a Schoolgirl pin to a hapless male beneath her. The counting??) since the black light battle with front caption read, "You are invited …..". I opened Amanda, and I was growing impatient for her to set the card and there was another photo of a woman up our next contest. I knew we both enjoyed these capturing a male in a Full Nelson. The caption matches immensely because we talked about it all continued, the time. But whenever I asked, Amanda would say "Not yet. I'll let you know when I'm ready." I was "to a Battle of the Sexes." starting to think this was some sort of tease to put me off balance. "When: Saturday night, 7:00" "Where: You already know" But at least, there were the "practice sessions". "Attire: To be supplied" These started out as "wrestling research" on the Internet. We'd get on-line and do searches for "Stakes: Sexual supremacy of the known universe" wrestling web sites. First I'd find a picture I liked & "No RSVP required. I know you'll be there." put the hold from the picture onto Amanda, and have her try to get free. And then she'd do the same I had to chuckle at the "stakes".

  • An Overview of the Wrestling Combats in the Early Literary Texts
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 3 No. 5; March 2013 Sport And Literature: An Overview of the Wrestling Combats in the Early Literary Texts Ana Penjak University of Split Faculty of Kinesiology Department of Foreign Languages Croatia Hrvoje Karnincic University of Split Faculty of Kinesiology Department of Combat Sports Croatia Abstract Sport has always inspired different artists, starting from the art of painting and the art of sculpture to literature. Form its early beginnings, different wrestling combats have been described in literary texts. Some of them are real wrestling combats and some of them are symbolic. The aim of this study was to present, in the chronological order, wrestling combats in epic texts in different cultures. For their analysis, the authors have chosen ten texts from the Mesopotamian to Middle ages literature. Yet for all these challenges, the authors believe that this study of literary representation of wrestling was worthwhile because it provided us insight into the ways which literature and sport were always connected. Key words: literature; sport; wrestling 1. Introduction: Culture and play – the entire lifestyle of a society Umbero Eco once wrote ‘‘Sport is Man, Sport is Society‖ wishing to emphasize that sport represents a central cultural place in the mankind civilization (Eco, 1994). Ethimologically, the word sport comes from the Latin word deporto (deportare), i.e. to carry around, to deliver, and to convey. Referring to Eco‘s words, sport and physical activities can be traced to the beginnings of recorded history i.e. from the days when people organized fests and various games.

It is argued that it is highly improbable that Sahkaracarya founded either the sect or the four (or five) main DasanamT monasteries, which are the seats of reigning Sankaracaryas. The locus of identity for the DasanamTs (meaning 'ten names’) lies in several short texts, known as mathamnaya- s, which were most probably produced around the time the DaSanamTs became organised as an order, in the late sixteenth or seventeenth century.

  • NEWSLETTER #62 1 QUARTER 2010 on August 14 of This Year, the IKCA Will Be Hosting Its Twelfth Annual Seminar in Long Beach
    NEWSLETTER #62 1ST QUARTER 2010 On August 14 of this year, the IKCA will be hosting its twelfth annual Seminar in Long Beach, California. The Seminar is open to all members and even non-members who are interested in furthering their knowledge in and of our system and other martial arts not related directly to our system, which will be of special interest to all of our Black Belts. The groupings will, again, be one for the Black Belts and the other for the under belts. Those of you with the rank of Brown Belt may, at your own option, attend either of the groups or divide your time between them if you prefer. In addition to the Seminar itself, this year we will also be hosting the first IKCA Summit Meeting for the purpose of setting the course into the new millennium for the IKCA, the System and its Members. The Summit Meeting, which is reserved for IKCA Black Belts, is to be held on the Thursday and Friday before the Seminar for the purposes of determining what changes or additions should be implemented for the future, such as a proposed Master's Certification Course, Intense Courses for Colored Belts, New and Improved Drills and Concepts for taking our system far above and beyond the competition to include elements of street fighting, as well as self-defense. It will be the responsibility of the IKCA's Black Belts to determine which changes, additions or directions should be put to the General Membership for a vote. As you know, all changes, additions or even changes in direction must be approved by a vote of the General IKCA Membership before any of them can be implemented into the system.
