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. 606 $aBusiness intelligence$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aTrade secrets$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aTechnological innovations$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aPiracy (Copyright)$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aIndustrial property$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aBusiness intelligence$xHistory. 615 0$aTrade secrets$xHistory. 615 0$aTechnological innovations$xHistory. 615 0$aPiracy (Copyright)$xHistory. 615 0$aIndustrial property$xHistory. 676 $a338.0973 700 $aBen-Atar$b Doron S$01467164 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777849203321 996 $aTrade secrets$93845488 997 $aUNINA
