The Path to Crystal Palace --Notes --IndexDuring the first decades of America's existence as a nation, private citizens, voluntary associations, and government officials encouraged the smuggling of European inventions and artisans to the New World. At the same time, the young republic was developing policies that set new standards for protecting industrial innovations. This book traces the evolution of America's contradictory approach to intellectual property rights from the colonial period to the age of Jackson. During the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries Britain shared technological innovations selectively with its American colonies. It became less willing to do so once America's fledgling industries grew more competitive. After the Revolution, the leaders of the republic supported the piracy of European technology in order to promote the economic strength and political independence of the new nation. By the middle of the nineteenth century, the United States became a leader among industrializing nations and a major exporter of technology. It erased from national memory its years of piracy and became the world's foremost advocate of international laws regulating intellectual property.Business intelligenceUnited StatesHistoryTrade secretsUnited StatesHistoryTechnological innovationsUnited StatesHistoryPiracy (Copyright)United StatesHistoryIndustrial propertyUnited StatesHistoryElectronic books.Business intelligenceHistory.Trade secretsHistory.Technological innovationsHistory.Piracy (Copyright)History.Industrial propertyHistory.338.0973Ben-Atar Doron S1025090MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451991503321Trade secrets2471339UNINA
