The Ninth Circuit’s Decision On appeal, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the District Court’s decision that CAB 1889 was preempted by the NLRA and therefore invalid under the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution.

The Ninth Circuit reversed, holding that the litigation privilege of § 47(b) does not apply to bar an action under the ADA.

In Balandran, the trial court denied defendant's petition to compel arbitration on plaintiffs' preemployment

O'Melveny & Myers: RLA Quarterly Update - October 2001 (PDF) Oct 01, 2001
For example, the issue is properly called "preclusion" rather than "preemption," and a court is required to ascertain Congressional intent rather than apply the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Nevertheless, the Seventh Circuit held that "we find the preemption question sufficiently similar to the preclusion question to make the analysis employed in the RLA preemption cases applicable here."10 Thus, the court concluded, if a federal statutory claim cannot be adjudicated without

In contrast, where Congress has considered the constitutional ramifications of granting patent-like protection to product designs, it has ensured that the resulting legislation is consistent with the limitations imposed by the Patent Clause.

Paul Weiss: Benchmarks: Fair Use on the Net Apr 01, 2000
First, the court held that misappropriation protects a "person's persona" which is not "a writing of an author within the meaning of the copyright clause." As the subject matter of the misappropriation claim did not fall into the subject matter of copyright, it was not directly preempted. Turning to the issue of whether the misappropriation claim was indirectly preempted under the supremacy clause, the court held that the tort promotes--rather than conflicts--with the purposes of the Copyright

This is a U.S. Constitutional attack based on Federal pre-emption under the Supremacy Clause (Article VI). Under this argument, we take the position that State law, in this case, reduction or elimination of rights based on concurrent employer negligence as well as the absence of a requirement to notify the employer of settlement without consequences, is in direct conflict with the congressional intent set forth in the statutory scheme of Section 33(a)(i) of the LHWCA.
