      abstract = {Veteran science journalist Seth Shulman takes us on a  shocking journey through today's battles for control over  the intangible new assets - genes, software, databases, and  scientific information - that make up the lifeblood of the  new economy. We meet doctors who sue colleagues for using  new medical procedures they claim to own. We find  university researchers thrown in jail for "stealing" their  own ideas; software firms holding the entire industry for  ransom over basic, widely used programming techniques; and  life-saving cancer treatments kept from dying patients by  legal wrangles over the underlying technology.},
