This book examines patents and copyrights. It argues that these are not necessary for innovation and are detrimental to the common good, rather than beneficial. Unlike competing titles, the book has broad coverage of both copyrights and patents and is designed for a general audience, focusing on simple examples.

This book provides a very convincing case against patents. It is full of great history and research. What I especially liked is how in order to show the damage of patents it does a great job discussing the key role that knowledge plays in the economy. Although I do not recall seeing any references to Mises or F.A. Hayek, the book's knowledge/entrepreneurial focus gives it a very "Austrian" feel.
