Description
This book focuses on the question of how much control innovators should be given over their works. The first parts examine the trend to increase control: first, by expanding the scope of intellectual property rights to add new subject matter; secondly, through increasing transactional autonomy. The former issue represents the key concerns of the intellectual property community; the latter issue is currently before both state and national legislatures.
The question that these groups are debating is the subject of the next part: whether strong intellectual property rights, coupled with a high degree of transactional autonomy, promote innovation or chill interchange. One view is that the current legal regime should not be altered because it represents the right balance between the needs of information producers and the requirements of users. The contrary view is that stronger rights would allow potential collaborators to find one another, bargain for beneficial exchanges, and reallocate rights. The final sections explore the bases in constitutions, laws, and treaties for protecting the public domain. Four judges from the US federal courts and the UK high court then debate the practicalities of the frameworks proposed.

Reviews and Awards
The book teems with fresh ideas and perspectives ... provides much needed stimulus for other writers and researchers to race towards comprehensive solutions. - European Intellectual Property Review
Clearly written ... carefully constructed arguments ... high quality writing pervades virtually the whole book ... There are many volumes that deal with the knowledge economy; few however present such a wide and challenging selection of ideas ... thought provoking insight into the future of intellectual property ... the book's overall strength lies in its ability to open new insights into this important legal area. - Journal of Information Law and Technology
