“…Accordingly, the obligations of the US under the Berne Convention of 1886 can be fulfilled only by incorporating them into the national legislation. In this regard, the US national law should be applied to prove the originality of some work, given that the Berne Convention of 1886 does not contain conflict of laws rules to help select a particular law applicable to originality issues (Patry: 2000). In the decision it was also highlighted, that in relation to States that have not acceded to the Convention, the originality of a work in the territory of the US should be decided by the law of the forum, i.e.…”

The global market of copyrights on TV formats has been growing and developing since the 1950s but their proper understanding has not been officially consolidated in positive law. The study subject is cross-border relations that identify TV formats as copyrightable intellectual property. The article aims at determining approaches to establishing protectability of foreign TV formats as copyrighted works in different jurisdictions. To attain this end, the authors used formal-legal and comparativelegal methods, as well as methods of legal modeling and historical analysis. Based on the study results, the authors have developed the term "lex media" (media law) to denote the usages that formed in the cross-border circulation of rights to TV formats and determined a list of the main social relations regulated by lex media, its main sources and correlation with lex mercatoria. Due to lex media, TV formats join not only positive copyrights, but also common format rights, and in the transnational relations, TV formats are recognized as a quasi-copyrightable intellectual property.

Piracy, Prejudice and Profit: A Perspective from US–China Intellectual Property Rights Disputes¹

Intellectual property scholars and US–China trade observers alike have spilled much ink on describing and explaining piracy and China's apparently “voracious appetite” for it. Unfortunately, such extensive discussions tend to oversimplify the complicated picture by exaggerating only particular aspects of the piracy problem. As a consequence, those discussions have created widespread misconceptions that confuse the public as to the truth of the piracy phenomenon in general, and Chinese piracy in particular. This article examines the US–China piracy debate in a wider context and challenges the three most common misconceptions about piracy: (1) stronger intellectual property rights protection is necessarily beneficial to economic development; (2) piracy is primarily a problem of lack of law; and (3) intellectual property businesses cannot profit from piracy. The analysis of this article dictates a more rational use of government regulation, as well as business strategies for the benefit of individual business and, ultimately, for society.
