TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission should not adopt a per se rule of legality for the pooling of blocking patents, and that these agencies must carefully delineate the permissible scope of broader pools.
Abstract: A new era has begun in antitrust regulation ofpatent pools. With the issuance of the 1995 Antitrust Guidelines for the Licensing of Intellectual Property and the 1997 Department of Justice approval of the MPEG LA patent pool, federal antitrust authorities have espoused a more permissive attitude toward patent pools and cross-licensing arrangements than in recent decades. Procompetitive benefits undoubtedly justify the formation of patent pools in certain contexts, but serious anticompetitive risks are also present, particularly in standard-dependent industries. This Note argues that the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission should not adopt a per se rule of legality for the pooling of blocking patents, and that these agencies must carefully delineate the permissible scope of broader pools.

16 Jul 2006TL;DR: MedEthEx is an implementation of Beauchamp's and Childress' Principles of Biomedical Ethics that harnesses machine learning techniques to abstract decision principles from cases in a particular type of dilemma with conflicting prima facie duties and uses these principles to determine the correct course of action in similar and new cases.
Abstract: As part of a larger Machine Ethics Project, we are developing an ethical advisor that provides guidance to health care workers faced with ethical dilemmas. MedEthEx is an implementation of Beauchamp's and Childress' Principles of Biomedical Ethics that harnesses machine learning techniques to abstract decision principles from cases in a particular type of dilemma with conflicting prima facie duties and uses these principles to determine the correct course of action in similar and new cases. We believe that accomplishing this will be a useful first step towards creating machines that can interact with those in need of health care in a way that is sensitive to ethical issues that may arise.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize major environmental problems with their social and economic implications and compose some essential psychological reasoning about them, including the commons dilemma model, different behavioral processes and strategies of behavior change, and various aspects of human quality of life (QoL).
Abstract: With our biosphere steadily degrading, a solid psychological perspective on environmental, social, and economic (un)sustainability is urgently needed. This should supplement and strengthen biological, technological, and economic perspectives. After discussing positivistic and constructive psychology, we summarize major environmental problems with their social and economic implications. We also compose some essential psychological reasoning about them, including the commons dilemma model, different behavioral processes and strategies of behavior change, and various aspects of human quality of life (QoL). Psychologists can help analyze and mitigate the biggest sustainability problems: population growth, resource-intensive consumption, and harmful technologies-if their research is well-tuned to other environmental sciences, if the incentive structure for this work is improved, and if more attention is paid to the collective side of human behavior.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine some elements of the nation's policy on Indigenous education priorities (Department of Employment, Education and Training, 1989) and how they have framed our approaches to formal schooling issues over the past decade.
Abstract: This paper critically examines some elements of the nation's policy on Indigenous education priorities (Department of Employment, Education and Training, 1989) and how they have framed our approaches to formal schooling issues over the past decade. I draw on some of the 'cultural' tensions in the policy position to illustrate the dilemma they produce at the level of practice. I then reflect on the implications of these tensions for literacy teaching as well as ways that they can be addressed. The conclusion brings these reflections back to a more theoretical level to consider how shifts at the level of theory might re-frame how we might best view the literacy issues and priorities in Indigenous contexts.
