Owning, or at least having some control over the products of one's mental labors started to be an issue from the moment we humans went mental. Add globalization, and determining who created what and who gets to profit from it meets head-on with all the various laws, policies and cultural perceptions of all the nations of the world. Schwabach (law, Thomas Jefferson School of Law) focuses on information technology as he describes how copyrights, patents and trademarks shambled onto the contentious ground they now occupy, both domestically and internationally. He covers the history of intellectual property law from its inception to how it is practiced in the US today, the main problems with the relevant laws and their applications, and international protection. He includes a chronology, biographies of major players, primary data and documents, a directory of organizations, and resources ranging from books to online references.
