Re: need title 35, usc

Candace --

The the best of my knowledge, what you're looking for is not on the Internet (if it is, I'd like to know, and update my Copyright FAQ).

I'm not sure whether you're after Title 35 of the US Code, as your "Subject:" header states, or Title 37 of the US Code of Federal Regulations. Title 35 of the US Code is the patent law. Title 37 of the CFR (which is a different thing from the US Code) is the regulations put out by the Patent & Trademark Office and by the Copyright Office. The regulations may be more detail than you want, particularly if you're looking for the general law.

I bought a paper copy of 37 CFR last week for $20 at the Santa Clara University bookstore. That's an unusual item for them, but it's used as a text for a patent-drafting case that's offered this semester. It should be available (probably for a little less) from the Government Printing Office.

The GPO should also be able to sell you a copy of 35 USC, the patent law, or 17 USC, the copyright law. On the outside chance that you want the copyright law, the following excerpt explains how to find it:

   Most portions of the current copyright law have been made available    by Cornell University. To review the statute, enter the command

     telnet fatty.law.cornell.edu 8210

   and sign on with a user ID of "www." No password is necessary.    This will allow you to use the World Wide Web software to navigate    the copyright law. It also includes access to the Berne Convention.
