Description
Summary:In this collection of essays, Op den Kamp and Hunter have brought together a group of contributors--drawn from around the globe in fields including law, history, sociology, science and technology, media, and even horticulture--to tell a history of intellectual property in 50 objects. These objects not only demonstrate the significance of the intellectual property system, but also show how intellectual property has developed and how it has influenced history. Each object is at the core of a story that will be appreciated by anyone interested in how great innovations offer a unique window into our past, present, and future. --From publisher description.
