Sui Generis Laws Sample Clauses

Sui Generis Laws. Proposals for sui generis intellectual property legislation for software and other information technology products have arisen periodically in legal and policy circles. Generally, the rationale is that existing intellectual property systems did not provide sufficient protection to promote adequate levels of investment in the development of this technology. Sometimes the argument is reversed— that existing intellectual property statutes provide too much protection, or at least the wrong kind of protection. Although sui generis proposals for software have not taken hold in the United States, this country has adopted a sui generis form of legal protection for semiconductor chip designs. As this book goes to press, the United States is also considering adoption of a sui generis form of legal protection for collections of information that may not meet copyright standards. The European Union has already enacted such a law. Chapter 5 will discuss these laws and proposals.
