A questionable victory for coerced Argentine pharmaceutical patent legislation

Article Abstract:

The US pharmaceutical industry continues to pressure the US government in turn to pressure Argentina to enact improved intellectual property and patent legislation. Historically, Argentina resisted patent protection and intellectual property. Analysis of the case for and against a strong intellectual property regime suggests that Argentina should defend its sovereignty in this area. Further US coercion may only serve to revive anti-US sentiment and should give way to an investment-maximization strategy.

Committee 703 report

Article Abstract:

The ABA Intellectual Property Law Section Committee 703 on New Information Technology issued a report planning for the intellectual property protection of the intuitive interfaces and other new software under development. Fear of monopolization is the main concern for patent protection of new interfaces. Patent laws exist to give the public the benefits of technological progress which it might not receive if inventors were without the incentive of this limited-time monopoly.
