Planning for a global system

Article Abstract:

The US, Japan and the European Union as the world's significant patent owners should commence before 2000 the twenty-five year negotiation process for an enforceable international patent treaty among themselves that other nations may elect to sign. This treaty should contain a cost-reducing examination system by a central patent authority providing true intellectual rights protection. An equitable treaty negotiation similar to the UN World Intellectual Property Organization's procedures would delay negotiations by including countries without industrialized interests to promote and protect.

Barring foreigners from our airwaves: an anachronistic pothole on the global information highway

Article Abstract:

US restrictions on foreign ownership of radio, television and some telephone companies, as embodied in section 310(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, are unconstitutional and inconsistent with free trade principles. Restrictions placed on media companies and access to media raise First Amendment concerns. Section 310(b) as applied to broadcasters constitutes a content-based restriction that is not justified by a compelling government interest. Foreign ownership restrictions also impede globalization and international economic integration.
