It is the great economic crime of the twenty-first century. [In this book, the author] examines the roots of conflicts over intellectual property and how the establishment of patent and copyright protections helped propel the American economy. He interweaves the stories of Eli Whitney, Alexander Graham Bell, and Thomas Edison to illustrate how the United States transformed itself from a largely agricultural society into a manufacturing, scientific, and technological superpower, giving rise to further copyright and patent protection laws. He traces the emergence of Germany, Japan, and China as rivals to American primacy through copying, counterfeiting, and underpricing American products and media. He reveals the shockingly meager effectiveness of current efforts to defend American businesses, inventors, and artists from corporate espionage. And he sounds a powerfully convincing warning that the general indifference of our government toward the security of American intellectual property is already affecting job security and the economy in general (an estimated $24 billion is lost each year to pirated films, music recordings, books, and other merchandise in China alone). [He offers an] assessment of one of the most serious problems facing the American economy today, certain to be one of the most widely discussed books of the year.-Dust jacket. 000013739 650_0 $$aIntellectual property. 000013739 650_0 $$aGlobalization$$zGermany. 000013739 650_0 $$aIntellectual property$$xEconomic aspects. 000013739 650_0 $$aCopyright$$zGermany. 000013739 650_0 $$aIntellectual property$$zChina. 000013739 650_0 $$aCopyright$$zChina. 000013739 650_0 $$aPatents$$zChina. 000013739 650_4 $$aGLOBALIZATION 000013739 650_4 $$aINFRINGEMENT 000013739 650_4 $$aCOPYRIGHT 000013739 650_4 $$aCOPYRIGHT : INFRINGEMENT 000013739 650_4 $$aENFORCEMENT 000013739 650_4 $$aCHINA 000013739 650_4 $$aJAPAN 000013739 650_4 $$aUNITED STATES OF AMERICA 000013739 650_6 $$aPropriété intellectuelle$$xAspect économique. 000013739 651_0 $$aChina$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000013739 651_0 $$aJapan$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000013739 651_0 $$aAmerica$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000013739 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000013739 651_0 $$aGermany$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000013739 7001_ $$aChoate, Pat. 000013739 903__ $$v1 000013739 942__ $$cMON 000013739 980__ $$aBIB
