Critical Acclaim
‘Research on intellectual property is a classic topic that, if anything, is even more relevant today because of improvements and diffusion of copying technologies. Margolis and Newmark have done an excellent job of covering the main papers and controversies in this literature, including classic papers by authors such as Barzel, Demsetz, and Posner and more recent important authors such as Lerner and Liebowitz. The volume is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the many insights found in the literature on this important and timely topic.’
