Innovation, Policy and Law

Illustrates the connections between innovation, policy and law and shows the ways in which the law can work as a key instrument of innovation policy. A cross-disciplinary study, it considers the ways in which the law has accommodated innovation, and the ways in which a legal framework for facilitating and managing new technologies has developed. As well as canvassing broad theoretical issues, the book presents a number of case studies relating to intellectual property, competition and trade and government sponsorship and entrepreneurship. Innovation, Policy and Law examines issues in public and industrial policy from the viewpoint of legal studies. It will increase understanding of the ways in which legal processes can promote innovation and assist in capturing the benefits that innovation brings.Professor Christopher Arup is the author of 'Innovation, Policy and Law', published 1993 under ISBN 9780521430036 and ISBN 0521430038.
