		<description><![CDATA[As explained by the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development in a draft report draft report: "The overall degree to which products are being counterfeited and pirated is unknown and there do not appear to be any methodologies which could be employed to develop an acceptable overall estimate."  The OECD draft report goes on to explain that based on best estimates that international trade in counterfeit and pirated goods could well have accounted for up to US$ 200 billion in 2005, but that figure does not tell the entire story. This $200 billion figure does not include counterfeit and pirated products that are produced and consumed domestically, nor does it include the significant volume of pirated digital products distributed via the Internet.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Late yesterday Oracle announced in an exceptionally brief and direct press release that it has filed a lawsuit against Google.  But someone at Google didn't find this amusing and seemingly tampered with Google's search algorithm and database by eliminating Oracle altogether. This was brought to my attention earlier today and then confirmed at approximately 3:00pm Eastern Time.  By approximately 6:00 pm Eastern Time things seemed back to normal with Google search, someone apparently getting wind that some intentionally harmful and malicious behavior was engaged in by someone somewhere. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Perfect 10, Inc., the former publisher of Perfect 10 Magazine, is back at it with Google over whether Google's display of certain images of scantily clad women infringes the copyrights owned by Perfect 10. Perfect 10 created and sold pictures of nude models through a now defunct print magazine, and now creates and sells pictures through a password-protected subscription website. Simultaneous actions are pending in both United States and Canada, each with recent rulings over the last two weeks, with a ruling in Canada on July 18, 2010, and a ruling on Google's motion for summary judgment in the United States District Court for the Central District of California on July 26, 2010.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have wondered out loud why we don't have more of a bounce coming off this Great Recession.  Certainly the historical dysfunctionality of the Patent Office prior to Director Kappos has something to do with that.  It seems to me that open source has also lead many otherwise capable individuals to turn away from innovating.  They are not looking for paradigm shifting open spaces and instead toward copying, or simply being blissfully ignorant about whether they are advancing or simply reinventing what others have already invented.  The march forward has ceased in part due to the Patent Office backlog and due to an infatuation with open source and reinventing the wheel.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last summer J.D. Salinger sued the author/publisher of the book entitled “60 Years Later Coming Through the Rye” for copyright infringement. Salinger claimed that the book was a sequel to his famous book entitled “Catcher in the Rye” and therefore it was an infringing derivative work. The Second Circuit agreed with the district court that Salinger is likely to ultimately prevail in his lawsuit because the book is probably an infringing work which is not protected by the fair use exception to copyright infringement. However, the Second Circuit remanded because it held that the test used by the district court to decide whether to issue a preliminary injunction was no longer the proper test to use in light of the 2006 Supreme Court decision in eBay v. MercExchange, 547 U.S. 388.]]></description>

In just one two-week period, Briefing.com copied a substantial portion of at least 100 articles and republished more than 70 headlines within three minutes of the initial publication on Dow Jones Newswires. Dow Jones alleges that this conduct violates Dow Jones' copyrights, amounts to "hot news" misappropriation, violates the DMCA and is otherwise unfair competition.]]></description>
