Material Progress

Critical Theory holds that capitalism privatizes the benefits of knowledge through systems of patent and copyright laws, leaving marginalized communities alienated not only from material progress but from “ways of knowing and relating to the world.” Critical theorists have it backward, and that the system of intellectual property protection has allowed continuous improvements in science and technology to the benefit of all.

The World

The emergence and use of new technologies such as Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing has brought with it numerous controversies particularly for intellectual property. P2P technologies function by granting its users access to files stored on another P2P user’s hard drive thus enabling them to download on-demand from users who have granted them such access. This aspect of the P2P networks (making files available for download), has been argued to be a violation of the exclusive rights granted by copyright. Consequently, a new right of making available was introduced via the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) Copyright Treaty (WCT) to supplement the existing copyright regime thus making it more adaptable to the digital age. The lack of ratification of the WCT and the lack of recognition of this right in Kenya, points to an inefficiency of Kenyan copyright laws to prevent P2P sharing of protected works in Kenya.

The Creation

This study discusses the potential of Intellectual Property protection on the creation of Science and Technology Development results by Lecturers in Higher Education and Intellectual Property Protection on the Creation of Science and Technology Development results in Universities in Improving Global Competitiveness.This study is a legal research using a normative juridical approach and descriptive analytical research specifications. The data used in this study are secondary data consisting of primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. Data obtained through library studies and field research in the form of legislation, books, journals, and authoritative electronic media. The results of the study show that (1). the results of Science and Technology Development by university lecturers have the potential to obtain wealth protection in the field of Copyright and Patents, but do not rule out rights through other types of Intellectual Property. (2). Creation of Science and Technology development results that are protected by Intellectual Property and supported by the value chain and competitive scope will have high quality and reputation so as to enhance global competitiveness.

Ongoing Concern

The desire to find appropriate vehicles for the commercialization of university research has been an ongoing concern for those inside and outside universities. In this paper, the authors present follow-up findings into their research on the formation and management of university spin-off firms (USOs) in England. It is argued that variations in the types of USOs and their sectoral location have important implications for the significance of the science base to small firms, the science and technology inputs required by firms, and the strategies of intellectual property protection they pursue.

Scientific Subject

This story is about the twentieth-century ethnobotanist, Richard Evans Schultes (1915–2001), and his research on hallucinogenic plants. Ethnobotany can contribute directly to science and technology studies in that the discipline makes cultural ways of knowing its scientific subject. Ethnobotanists must learn about plants through people, and are not able to conceal their interactions with indigenous informants and other ethnobotanists. I focus on an ‘enigma’ that Schultes presented, concerning the peculiar ability of indigenous Amazonians to distinguish between local varieties of vine that he was unable to tell apart, notably those used to prepare the hallucinogenic beverage ayahuasca. The enigma describes a complicated and irresolvable question thrown up at the uneasy intersection between different ways of knowing about the world, and shows how modern scientific travellers might navigate – or fail to navigate – the uncertain passage between them. Together with Schultes’s accounts of his own non-ordinary states of consciousness elicited by ayahuasca, and his writings on the Victorian botanist Richard Spruce, I chart an epistemological gulf between Schultes’s modern scientific cosmology and that of his Amazonian informants. In describing his inability to learn about the ayahuasca varieties from Amazonians, Schultes’s enigma traces the very limits of the ethnobotanical discipline and reveals the fragility of the processes by which scientific naturalists might impose categories such as ‘nature’ and ‘culture’.

Material Progress

Photographs probably expanded more horizons and redefined more ways of knowing the world than any other product of nineteenth-century technology. The first daguerreotypes appeared in the Western Hemisphere merely months after the triumphal announcement of Daguerre's process by the French Academy in 1839. In the next three decades, millions of photographic images were produced. Three distinct categories predominated: studio portraits, scenic views for collectors and, after the early 1850s, photographic images transferred to woodcuts and, later, lithographs for publication as line sketches in illustrated newspapers and magazines. Photographic “science” complemented neatly the elite's striving for ways to affirm the region's material progress. Photographers played a vital role in presenting to the world a vision rooted in the aspirations of the dominant members of society.

Current Stage

AbstractThe present article examines the current stage of the WTO negotiations with respect to the protection of geographical indications (GIs). GIs are distinctive signs that associate products of quality and reputation with their place or area of production and, thereby, help identify and distinguish such products on the market. Well-known examples of geographical indications include Irish Whiskey, Gorgonzola, Tequila, Bordeaux, Roquefort, Antigua Coffee, and Parma Ham. This article examines the manner in which geographical indications are protected in the Russian Federation. Russia considers protection of this type of intellectual property to be one of the key TRIPs issues and is seen to fully support the position of those countries that are demanding enhanced protection of geographical indications around the world. One of the major problems in respect to the protection of intellectual property in Russia is the fact that enforcement of intellectual property laws has—thus far—been rather limited. In conclusion, the authors suggest that Russia's entry into the WTO will prove benefi cial to both Russia itself and to other WTO Members with respect to intellectual property protection.

Early debates discussed how best to overlay the proposed new rights with existing forms of intellectual property protection. Regimes differed in member states. Several, such as France, offered full cumulation of rights (unité de l’art). Most offered partial cumulation (for example, Germany and the United Kingdom). Italy prohibited cumulation under the principle of scindibilità. This chapter discusses Article 96 of the Regulation, which provides for overlap of rights, expressly mandating overlap with national copyright laws and allowing overlap with other forms of intellectual property protection.
