7/10. The Senate passed HR 6304 [LOC | WW], the "Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 Amendments Act of 2008", on Wednesday, July 9, 2008, by a vote of 69-28. See, Roll Call No. 168. All amendments were either withdrawn or rejected.

The House passed the bill on June 20, 2008, by a vote of 293-129.

President Bush signed the bill into law on Thursday, July 10, at a White House ceremony. See, speech.

See also, stories titled "House and Senate Leaders Release Draft FISA Reform Bill" in TLJ Daily E-Mail Alert No. 1,782, June 18, 2008, and "House Approves FISA Reform Bill" in TLJ Daily E-Mail Alert No. 1,783, June 19, 2008.

This bill provides immunity, including retroactive immunity, from civil suits for carriers and other service providers who cooperate, and who cooperated in the past, with government intelligence agencies.

7/10. Various federal government agencies with responsibilities related to enforcement of intellectual property laws held a ceremony to announce the dedication of a "National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center".

Michael Chertoff, Secretary of Homeland Security, stated in a speech that "in setting up the new center, we've reorganized the way we combat these criminal organizations. And we really emphasized and facilitated a team approach at all levels of government and with the private sector to make sure we're bringing all the elements of national power to bear in dealing with what is a national and transnational problem."

"We're using the tried and true task force model, which we've used in law enforcement over the many years I've been involved in this type of activity." Chertoff added that "Co-locating has proven time and again to be the key to make sure there's fluid communication and coordination at all levels in order to produce the maximum benefit from a law enforcement standpoint."

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) includes entities involved in IP enforcement, including Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

Carlos Gutierrez, the Secretary of Commerce, also gave a speech. He said that "In 2004 this administration launched what we called STOP!, the Strategy Targeting Organized Piracy. STOP is the most comprehensive effort in our nation’s history to fight intellectual property theft. And bolster cooperation and collaboration across agencies. In my office we have an intellectual property enforcement coordinator, and he has helped facilitate an unprecedented level of interagency coordination".

He also said that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), which is a part of the Department of Commerce (DOC), "works closely with its partners in delivering training to foreign government officials to increase enforcement overseas".

This newly dedicated and publicized "National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center" is a six word phrase, but not a government entity created by statute.

There is a legislative effort to statutorily mandate and define interagency cooperation. On May 7, 2008, the House passed HR 4279 [LOC | WW], the "Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act of 2007" or "PRO IP Act". The Senate has not yet passed this bill. See, story titled "House Passes Pro IP Act" in TLJ Daily E-Mail Alert No. 1,763, May 8, 2008.

This bill would create within the Executive Office of the President (EOP) an Office of the United States Intellectual Property Enforcement Representative.

The Bush administration, which has concerns with provisions in the bill regarding reorganization of executive branch enforcement operations, may be working to prevent passage of this bill.

Secretary Gutierrez commented on pending patent reform legislation, but not enforcement coordination, in his prepared speech. He said that "On the legislative front I will just say one important activity and that is patent modernization. We want a bill that fairly protects innovators across all business models. We don't want to see it become easier to infringe on intellectual property. So there's a bit of a debate going on and we encourage Congress to pass the type of bill that would be balanced across business models."

7/8. The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) adopted and released its Second Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking [40 pages in PDF] in its proceeding titled "In the Matter of The Commercial Mobile Alert System".

This item implements Sections 602(c) and 602(f) of the Warning, Alert and Response Network (WARN) Act. The WARN Act was enacted in late 2006 a part of the port security bill. It establishes a process for commercial mobile service providers to voluntarily elect to transmit emergency alerts. See also, stories titled "Bush Signs Port Security Bill" in TLJ Daily E-Mail Alert No. 1,469, October 16, 2006, and "House and Senate Approve Port Security Bill With Tech Provisions" in TLJ Daily E-Mail Alert No. 1,461, October 4, 2006.

The R&O portion of this item requires non-commercial educational (NCE) and public broadcast television stations "to install equipment and technologies that will provide these licensees/permittees with the ability to enable the distribution of geo-targeted CMAS alerts to participating CMS providers".

It also requires participating Commercial Mobile Service (CMS) providers "to participate in required monthly testing and additional periodic testing of the interface between the Federal Alert Gateway and the participating CMS Provider Gateway."

The NPRM portion of this item seeks public comments regarding whether the FCC "should adopt rules that require NCE and public broadcast television station licensees and permittees to test the equipment that they are required to install pursuant to the rules adopted in the Second Report and Order." It also seeks comments on "how any such testing rules should be implemented".

The FCC adopted and released its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) [PDF] on December 14, 2007. It is FCC 07-214 in PSHS Docket No. 07-287.

The just released item is FCC 08-164 in PSHS Docket No. 07-287.

Initial comments will be due 30 days after publication of a notice in the Federal Register. Reply comments will be due within 45 days. As of the July 10, 2008, issue of the Federal Register, this publication had not occurred.

7/10. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) submitted its annual report [20 pages in PDF] to the Congress regarding the Do Not Call Registry.

The report states that at the end of FY 2007, "more than 145 million telephone numbers were on the Registry."

It concludes that "data from surveys and analysis of complaints about do not call violations strongly suggest that compliance with the National Registry provisions of the Amended TSR is high and that consumers are receiving fewer unwanted telemarketing calls."

"Although compliance with the National Registry has been high, the FTC actively investigates and prosecutes violators." The report adds that "As of September 30, 2007, the FTC had filed 25 cases alleging violations of the National Registry and had reached settlements in 22 of these cases, obtaining injunctive relief in all 22 cases. In 13 of the resolved cases, defendants paid civil penalties totaling more than $8.7 million."

This report is the last annual report required by the Do-Not-Call Implementation Act (DNCIA).

However, on February 15, 2008, President Bush signed into law S 781 [LOC | WW], the "Do-Not-Call Registry Fee Extension Act" (now Public Law No. 110-188), and HR 3541 [LOC | WW], the "Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007" (now Public Law No. 110-187), which establish new reporting requirements.

7/10. President Bush announced his intent to nominate Anthony Ryan to be Under Secretary of the Treasury for Domestic Finance. He also designated him acting Under Secretary. See, White House release.

Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson announced in a statement new and expanded roles for remaining senior officials. He wrote that "Assistant Secretary for Financial Markets Anthony W. Ryan will take on a broader role managing Treasury's domestic finance and financial markets agenda. Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions David Nason will continue to spearhead regulatory reform efforts and oversee financial institutions policy, including issues surrounding the government sponsored enterprises. Steven Shafran, who had 22 years of experience in finance before coming to Treasury, will take on a broader role in his current capacity as Senior Adviser to the Secretary. Assistant Secretary Kenneth Carfine will continue to oversee the government's fiscal operations, including managing federal financing needs and the government's cash flow. Deputy Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions Policy Jeremiah Norton will take on additional financial institutions responsibilities." (Emphasis added.)

7/10. The Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) announced in a release that it will begin field testing the performance of prototype television white space devices (WSDs), commencing the week of July 14, 2008. This release is DA 08-1635 in ET Docket No. 04-186. The FCC opened its TV white space proceeding in 2004. See, story titled "FCC Adopts NPRM Regarding Unlicensed Use of Broadcast TV Spectrum" in TLJ Daily E-Mail Alert No. 898, May 14, 2004; and story titled "FCC Releases NPRM Regarding Unlicensed Use of TV Spectrum" in TLJ Daily E-Mail Alert No. 905, May 26, 2004. The FCC adopted a Report and Order (R&O) and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (FNPRM) in this proceeding on October 12, 2006. It released the text [43 pages in PDF] on October 18, 2006.

7/10. The U.S. Court of Appeals (FedCir) issued a per curiam opinion [6 pages in PDF] in Baystate Technologies v. Bowers, a software patent case, that was dismissed in 2006. This opinion does not address the merits of the case. Rather, it vacates and remands an order of the District Court that denied George Kuney's motion to intervene, and to amend a protective order to allow him access to certain litigation documents. The Court of Appeals wrote that Kuney is "a law professor who is writing a detailed account of the proceedings in this case given its significance to the software industry". It held that "in determining whether a protective order should be modified, the court must balance the privacy interests of the parties against the public interest in access to the discovery information", and that on remand, the District Court must conduct this balancing. The Court of Appeals added that "the parties appear to have little, if any, continued interest in maintaining confidential the documents", while "Kuney alleges that his ability to do scholarly work is dependent on his ability to obtain access to the documents" and public monitoring of the "judicial system fosters the important values of quality, honesty and respect for the judicial system." This case is Baystate Technologies, Inc. v. Harold Bowers, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, App. Ct. No. 2008-1204, an appeal from the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, D.C. No. 91-CV-40079.

This case is SEC v. Sycamore Networks, Inc., Frances M. Jewels, Cheryl E. Kalinen, and Robin A. Friedman, U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, D.C. No. 08-CA-11166-DPW.
