Short description:
Innovation is crucial to the U.S. economy, but it has been severely hampered in recent years by the legal system. This book demonstrates how current intellectual property and antitrust laws stifle innovation and offers ten specific proposals to counter this trend. Michael Carrier provides an accessible primer on intellectual property and antitrust law to provide the reader with the tools needed to follow the breaking innovation stories of the day.
MoreLong description:
On their broadest level, the IP and antitrust laws aim to increase societal welfare. But they do so in different ways. The foundation of the IP system is the right to exclude. This right allows inventors to recover their investment costs and to obtain profits. Relatedly, it discourages "free riders" who imitate the invention and - because they have no investment costs to recover - undercut the price. The right to exclude, in short, is designed to increase innovation. The very exclusion at the heart of IP nonetheless might seem suspicious to antitrust, which focuses on harms to competition. The antitrust laws presume that competition leads to lower prices, higher output, and more innovation. They anticipate that certain agreements between competitors or conduct by monopolists prevents consumers from enjoying these benefits. In Innovation in the 21st Century: Harnessing the Power of Intellectual Property and Antitrust Law, Michael Carrier contends that intellectual property and antitrust, the two most important laws fostering innovation, are not being used most effectively to achieve this goal and offers various proposals that individually and collectively remedy this deficiency.
...provides an accessible yet in depth text on intellectual property, detailing patents, copyright and antitrust law and what impact they can have on innovation.
