Phillip Johnson

Privatised Law Reform: A History of Patent Law through Private Legislation, 1620-1907 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the history of British patent law, the role of Parliament is often side-lined. This is largely due to the raft of failed or timid attempts at patent law reform. This book addresses this shortfall and examines how private legislation played an important role in the birth of modern patent law.
