Although much has been written about innovation in the past several
years, not all parts of the innovation lifecycle have been given
the same treatment. This volume focuses on the important first step
of arranging financing for innovation before it is made, and
explores the feedback effect that innovation can have on finance
itself. The book brings together a diverse group of leading
scholars in order to address the financing of innovation. The
chapters address three key areas, intellectual property, venture
capital, and financial engineering in the capital markets, in order
to provide fresh and insightful analyses of current and future
economic developments in financing innovation. Chapters on
intellectual property cover topics including innovation in
law-making, orphan business models, and the use of intellectual
property to protect financial engineering innovations and
developing intellectual property regimes in Brazil, Russia, India,
and China. The book also covers the tax treatment of venture
capital founders, the treatment of preferred stock by the Delaware
Courts, asset-backed lending hedge funds, and corporate governance
for small businesses after the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill.
The book will be of interest to scholars, practitioners, and
students in law, innovation, finance, and business.

Perspectives on Patentable Subject Matter brings together leading
scholars to offer diverse perspectives on the question of which
types of subject matter are even eligible for patent protection,
setting aside the widely known requirement that a claimed invention
avoid the prior art and be adequately disclosed. Some leading
commentators and policy-making bodies and individuals envision
patentable subject matter to include anything under the sun made by
humans, others envision a range of restrictions for particular
fields of endeavor, from business methods and computer software to
matters involving life, such as DNA and methods for screening or
treating disease. Employing approaches that are both theoretically
rigorous and grounded in the real world, this book is well suited
for practicing lawyers, managers, lawmakers and analysts, as well
as academics researching or teaching in law schools, business
schools, public policy schools, and in economics and political
science departments.
Intellectual property is a vital part of the global economy,
accounting for about half of the GDP in countries like the United
States. Innovation, competition, economic growth and jobs can all
be helped or hurt by different approaches to this key asset class,
where seemingly slight changes in the rules of the game can have
remarkable impact. This book brings together diverse perspectives
from the fields of law, economics, business and political science
to explore the ways varying approaches to intellectual property can
positively and negatively impact our economy and society. Employing
approaches that are both theoretically rigorous and grounded in the
real world, Perspectives on Commercializing Innovation is well
suited for practising lawyers, managers, lawmakers and analysts, as
well as academics conducting research or teaching in a range of
courses in law schools, business schools and economics departments,
at either the undergraduate or graduate level.

The events that began with the collapse of Enron, WorldCom, Tyco,
and Adelphia and continued into the financial crisis of 2008 teach
us an important lesson: corporate governance matters. Although it
is widely acknowledged that good corporate governance is a linchpin
of good corporate performance, how can one improve corporate
governance and its impact on corporate and overall economic
performance. This book offers a diverse and forward-looking set of
approaches from experts, covering the major areas of corporate
governance reform and analyzing the full range of issues and
concerns. Written to be both theoretically rigorous and grounded in
the real world, the book is well suited for practicing lawyers,
managers, lawmakers, and analysts, as well as academics conducting
research or teaching a wide range of courses in law schools,
business schools, and economics departments.

The groundbreaking work of modern genetics that culminated in the
Human Genome Project has blazed new pathways in both science and
law. As the assertion of property rights generally, and patents in
particular, has become increasingly common surrounding the new
products and processes of modern biotechnology, the transactions
that must occur for downstream research and development to occur
have shifted in important ways, in both academic and business
settings. Perspectives on Properties of the Human Genome Project
addresses the problems raised in this complex area under different
regimes of laws and norms to offer hope and help as we wrestle to
ensure optimal use of such essential innovations. This unique
collection of authors, views, and topics is essential reading for
academics, policy-makers, and practitioners in medicine, biology,
sociology, management, ethics, law, and economics, and anyone else
interested in gaining perspective on the broad interface between
biotechnology and property.
* Represents diverse views interwoven into a coherent
dialogue
* Includes contributions from the leading thinkers in the
field
* Explores the legal ramifications, in terms of property rights and
patents, of the scientific developments arising from the work on
the Human Genome Project
