Contemporary patent law continues to struggle with the most basic questions of patent system design. There is fierce debate over the power of the Patent Office, the role of the courts, incentives to guide the process and many other fundamental issues. Professor Miller brings together seminal articles which are acknowledged to be the proper foundations for these ongoing debates. This indispensable collection of papers is vital for patent policy makers and serves as an excellent reference source for anyone with an interest in the topic.

Reviews

'This collection of essays forms a wonderful introduction to patent law practice, its theory, and its problems. It includes highly influential articles by top thinkers in the field. Furthermore, it exposes readers to all of the key methodologies - economic and empirical analysis, historical research, normative assessment - necessary to acquire a deep understanding of the field.' -- Rochelle Dreyfuss, New York University, School of Law, US 'This is a timely collection of many of the major milestones in recent patent theory. The problems they address remain core to the ongoing utility of the patent system.' -- Michael Spence, University of Sydney, Australia
