商品簡介
Partly to help readers put the currently raging controversies into a historical context, Dutfield (intellectual property research, U. of London) traces the transformation of copyrights, patents, and relation protection measures since they were spawned in the US and Britain by the rapid industrialization of the 19th century. He also however identifies the forces driving those transformations, including the extent to which big business influences regulation in the life sciences field, and the strategies that are used to mediate this influence. Finally, he considers his treatment a case study of historical change in economic regulation. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
