This is hopeful news: the anti-IP case is growing stronger and mainstream all the time. The latest is Jordan Weissmann’s The Atlantic article The Case for Abolishing Patents (Yes, All of Them), which draws on a recent paper by Boldrin and Levine (see Boldrin and Levine: The Case Against Patents). For other recent semi-mainstream opinion that flirts with abolition, see Becker & Posner: Time To Minimize Patent & Copyright Law.
The Center for the Study of Innovative Freedom (C4SIF) is dedicated to building public awareness of the manner in which so-called “intellectual property” (IP) laws and policies impede innovation, creativity, communication, learning, knowledge, emulation, and information sharing. We are for property rights, free markets, competition, commerce, cooperation, and the voluntary sharing of knowledge, and oppose IP laws, which systematically impede or hamper innovation. IP law should be completely and immediately abolished.
We provide news commentary and analysis and scholarly resources from our unique pro-property, pro-market, pro-innovation perspective.
