Koepsell argues that these rapidly developing new technologies demand a new approach to scientific discovery and innovation in our society. He takes established ideas from social philosophy and applies them to the nanoparticle world. In doing so he breaks down the subject into its elemental form and from there we are better able to understand how these elements fit into the construction of a more complex system of products, rules and regulations about these products.Where existing research in the field has tended to focus on potential social harm, Koepsell takes a different approach by looking at ways in which developments in distributed design and fabrication can be harnessed to enable wealth creation by those with good ideas but no access to capital. He argues that the key challenge facing us is the error implicit in current intellectual property regimes and presents new modes of relating inventors to artifacts in this new context. In conclusion he offers contractual models which he believes encourage innovation in nano-media by embracing open source and alternative means of protection for innovators."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aNanotechnology$xPhilosophy 606 $aIntellectual property 615 0$aNanotechnology$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aIntellectual property. 700 $aKoepsell$b David$0686842 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 912 $a996214900803316 996 $aInnovation and Nanotechnology$91802458 997 $aUNISA
