SSRN Top Ten Downloads for Intellectual Property Law

Lewis & Clark Law School IP Professors Lydia Loren and Joseph Miller both have papers included in SSRN’s Top Ten Downloads for Intellectual Property Law.

Professor Miller’s paper, The Proven Key: Roles and Rules for Dictionaries in the Patent Office and the Courts, co-authored by L&C Law Alum James Hilsenteger, is the fifth most downloaded IP paper in the last 60 days.

Professor Loren’s paper, Slaying the Leather-Winged Demons in the Night: Reforming Copyright Owner Contracting with Clickwrap Misuse, is number ten with a bullet.

SSRN, the Social Science Research Network, solicits and publishes research papers in the social sciences.

Access to most of the papers and abstracts on LSN is free.

United States Code

The Cornell Legal Information Institute has unveiled a new and improved version of their U.S. Code database.

Improvements include a better search engine, helpful crossreferencing, more accurate formatting, and linkability. The likeability quotient of the U.S.C., however, remains in the eye of the beholder.

Remember, the Cornell U.S.C. is based on the most recent official version. Always update your Code section to see if it has been repealed or amended using the United States Code Classification Tables.
