Federal statutes regulate patents,7 copyrights,8 and trademarks.9 Indeed, national legislation provides that only federal law may govern copyright subject matter,10 and that the federal courts alone may judge patent and copyright claims.11 In addition, the United States Supreme Court has emphasized exclusive federal authority to grant patents.12 By contrast, Congress has, in most instances, left trademarks to concurrent state and federal ordering, 13 although the national uniformity advantages of federal trademark registration and regulation are sufficiently great that congressional enactments set forth the dominant law in this realm. 14
