In an era when knowledge can travel with astonishing speed, the
need for analysis of intellectual property (IP) law-and its focus
on patents, trade secrets, trademarks, and issues of copyright-has
never been greater. But as Robert M. Farley and Davida H. Isaacs
stress in Patents for Power, we have long overlooked critical ties
between IP law and one area of worldwide concern: military
technology. This deft blend of case studies, theoretical analyses,
and policy advice reveals the fundamental role of IP law in shaping
how states create and transmit defense equipment and weaponry. The
book probes two major issues: the effect of IP law on innovation
itself and the effect of IP law on the international diffusion, or
sharing, of technology. Discussing a range of inventions, from the
AK-47 rifle to the B-29 Superfortress bomber to the MQ-1 Predator
drone, the authors show how IP systems (or their lack) have
impacted domestic and international relations across a number of
countries, including the United States, Russia, China, and South
Korea. The study finds, among other results, that while the open
nature of the IP system may encourage industrial espionage like
cyberwarfare, increased state uptake of IP law is helping to
establish international standards for IP protection. This
clear-eyed approach to law and national security is thus essential
for anyone interested in history, political science, and legal
studies.
