THE BIOTECHNOLOGY DIRECTIVE: A WORK OF GEN(E)IUS?

Volume 5, Issue 1, 2001/2002 p.13

In Netherlands v. European Parliament and Council of the European Union, the European Court of Justice considered and rejected the Netherlands’ challenge to the legality of the EC Directive on the Legal Protection of Biotechnological Inventions, which sets out the requirements for patenting biotechnological inventions. This article outlines the Directive and critically analyses the ECJ’s decision, with particular emphasis on the arguments as to human dignity, the scope of moralty, and ordre public and compliance with other international obligations concerning patent law.

PUBLIC CORRUPTION: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF INTERNATIONAL CORRUPTION CONVENTIONS AND UNITED STATES LAW
Peter J. Henning
Arizona Journal of International and Comparative Law
Volume 18, Number 3, Fall 2001 p.793

The Article compares United States law with three international conventions, adopted by the European Union, the Organization for Economic Cooperation, and the Organization of American States, designed to significantly strengthen domestic laws against public corruption among the signatory nations. The Article then looks at United States law, noting that although federal law on the topic is not entirely consistent and contains no single provision on corruption, the United States has developed a strong anti-corruption law that provides a means to address different forms of corruption and offers examples for the international effort to define and punish corruption.

The European Mobile 3G UMTS Process: Lessons From the Spectrum Auctions and Beauty Constests
D. Daniel Sokol
Virginia Journal of Law & Technology
Volume 6, Issue 3, Fall 2001

The European Union (“EU” ) is perhaps the most advanced area in terms of mobile telecommunications penetration. As of January 2001, over 63 percent of EU citizens had mobile phones. Telecommunications services within the EU are worth an estimated 200 billion euros. Of this amount, mobile services constitute 30 percent. It is within this context that third generation (“3G” ) spectrum licenses for mobile phones have become such an important issue in European regulation, finance, and politics. This article addresses two issues that have been missing from legal academic literature. First, it analyzes auction theory and its applications to telecommunications. Second, it investigates the important 3G spectrum license process in Europe and breaks down its implications on EU law and policy in the telecom sector. This analysis is crucial given that the unresolved issues that have arisen in the 3G process, if not solved, will have a deleterious effect on future spectrum allocation processes in Europe, such as the eventual 4G licensing process. Therefore, this article will argue that a single simultaneous ascending auction and a pan-European telecom regulatory authority should be created to allow for better spectrum allocation results.
