This perceptive book focuses on the interplay between the substantive provisions of intellectual property (IP) rights and the rules of enforcement. Featuring contributions from internationally recognised IP scholars, the book investigates different methods of ensuring that IP contractual and enforcement practices support the overall goals of the IP system.
This book chronicles developments in legal practice, intellectual property, and privacy law from the dawn of the digital age to today’s world of social media and cloud technologies. Part autobiography, part legal history, and part philosophy of law, this volume explores a variety of subjects including the nature of legal reasoning, property, privacy, and personal identity. In addition, it tackles larger issues grounded on meticulous research into the legal protection for computer software, the mechanics of software licensing, the use of intellectual property rights in secured lending and trademark selection, registration and maintenance. Hemnes weaves through the complexity of these issues...
This two-volume set (CCIS 1159 and CCIS 1160) constitutes the proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Bio-inspired Computing: Theories and Applications, BIC-TA 2019, held in Zhengzhou, China, in November 2019. The 121 full papers presented in both volumes were selected from 197 submissions. The papers are organized according to the topical headings: evolutionary computation and swarm intelligence; bioinformatics and systems biology; complex networks; DNA and molecular computing; neural networks and articial intelligence.
Innovation benefits consumers through the development of new and improved goods, services, and processes. Competition and patents stand out among the federal policies that influence innovation. Both competition and patent policy can foster innovation, but each requires a proper balance with the other to do so. This report by the Federal Trade Commission discusses and makes recommendations for the patent system to maintain a proper balance with competition law and policy.
This timely book provides a comprehensive survey of recent developments in intellectual property (IP) law within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries, written by experienced scholars and practitioners in the field.
A remarkable facet of the human brain is its ability to manage multiple tasks with apparent simultaneity. Knowledge learned from one task can then be used to enhance problem-solving in other related tasks. In machine learning, the idea of leveraging relevant information across related tasks as inductive biases to enhance learning performance has attracted significant interest. In contrast, attempts to emulate the human brain’s ability to generalize in optimization – particularly in population-based evolutionary algorithms – have received little attention to date. Recently, a novel evolutionary search paradigm, Evolutionary Multi-Task (EMT) optimization, has been proposed in the realm o...
This book constitutes the refereed conference proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Bio-inspired Information and Communications Technologies, held in September 2021. Due to the safety concerns and travel restrictions caused by COVID-19, BICT 2021 took place online in a live stream. BICT 2021 aims to provide a world-leading and multidisciplinary venue for researchers and practitioners in diverse disciplines that seek the understanding of key principles, processes and mechanisms in biological systems and leverage those understandings to develop novel information and communications technologies (ICT). The 20 full and 2 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 47 submissions. The papers are organized thematically in tracks as follows: Bio-inspired network systems and applications; Bio-inspired information and communication; mathematical modelling and simulations of biological systems.
