Original research and Primary sources issues
I'm afraid my comments here are the similar to the ones I made at Talk:Abstraction-Filtration-Comparison test. I see that both of these articles, and many more, are being updated as a class project as part of WP:WikiProject Intellectual Property law 2009 Berkeley.

First, I applaud what this group is doing. I think it's great to have a group of students who understand a topic jump in and write or substantially update articles like this.

However, the students need to understand Wikipedia's policies on original research and the use of primary sources. As with Abstraction-Filtration-Comparison test, this article's revision appears to be almost entirely original research by the recent editor, and almost exclusively taken from primary sources rather than secondary sources. The sole exception is the use of the Lemley et al. source. This article very much needs to be cleaned up, citing secondary sources, instead of the writer's own analysis of the case.

Much of this article could be sourced to "Sourcebook on Intellectual Property Law", Peter Groves, 1997. Relevant parts of this book, as of today at least, are available online at Google Books. My interest is only as a longtime Altai employee, beginning 1990.Mandruss (talk) 08:50, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Moved. (non-admin closure) Winged Blades Godric  12:05, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Computer Associates International, Inc. v. Altai Inc. → Computer Associates International, Inc. v. Altai, Inc. – There should be a comma in "Altai, Inc." in case name, just as in "Computer Associates International, Inc."; see., e.g., here, here and here. A redirect exists at the target, so admin assistance in required to effect the move. TJRC (talk) 22:41, 18 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Support: Adding a comma to the article title is not controversial and supported by MOS:LAW. -- intgr [talk] 07:56, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
