Bilateral Investment Treaty and Free Trade Agreement: the Hasemite Kingdom of Jordan and the United States

International Company and Commercial Law Review
Volume 21, Issue 8, 2010 p.289 LAW JOURNAL / LAW REVIEW
This article reviews the Free Trade Agreement and Bilateral Investment Treaty between the United States and Jordan and explores their implications for the Jordanian business legal environment. The article illustrates that Jordanian laws and their administration and enforcement mechanism have been regularly tested by the application of the Free Trade Agreement and Bilateral Investment Treaty with the United States. In addition, the Government of Jordan has been under consistent pressure to create efficient mechanisms for law administration and enforcement. The article also provides evidence which shows that US foreign direct investment into Jordan has continued to grow in the period since the signing of the Free Trade Agreement and Bilateral Investment Treaty.

The Intellectual Property Implications of Low-Cost 3D Printing
Simon Bradshaw, Adrian Bowyer and Patrick Haufe
SCRIPTed: a Journal of Law, Technology & Society
Volume 7, Issue 1, 2010 p.5-31 LAW JOURNAL / LAW REVIEW
In the late 1970s 3D printing started to become established as a manufacturing technology. Thirty years on the cost of 3D printing machines is falling to the point where private individuals in the developed world may easily own them. They allow anyone to print complicated engineering parts entirely automatically from design files that it is straightforward to share over the Internet. However, although the widespread use of 3D printers may well have both economic and environmental advantages over conventional methods of manufacturing and distributing goods, there may be concerns that such use could be constrained by the operation of intellectual property (IP) law. This paper examines existing IP legislation and case law in the contexts of the possible wide take-up of this technology by both small firms and private individuals. It splits this examination into five areas: copyright, design protection, patents, trade marks, and passing off. Reassuringly, and perhaps surprisingly, it is concluded that – within the UK at least – private 3D printer owners making items for personal use and not for gain are exempt from the vast majority of IP constraints, and that commercial users, though more restricted, are less so than might be imagined.

Creating an Innovation Exception? Copyright Law as the Infrastructure for Innovation

Innovation is clearly essential for economic growth, cultural development and personal autonomy. Yet the relationship between innovation and copyright law in Australia is uncertain and perhaps overly restrictive. After the Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement Australia now has a copyright regime that can broadly be described as a lock up and lock out scheme. Whilst the Australian Government has paid lip service to innovation the Australian Copyright Act, which provides the essential legal infrastructure for innovation, now privileges the rights of owners over the interests of the public. In particular, the Copyright Act neglects to create a specific exception for technology innovation. If there is to be some coherence in Australia thinking with regards to innovation and copyright policy it is crucial that such an exception be created. Arguably, it is possible that such an exception can withstand the scrutiny of the three step test. At present the only ‘exception’ that can be said to exist is in the form of the limits of the authorisation liability provisions or the ISP safe harbour scheme. Australian copyright law needs something more substantial than that and needs for there to be a clear hierarchy between the exceptions and the liability provisions.
