| Summary |
Taking the invention as its object of study, this book develops a new perspective on the making of modern patent law. Focusing on the figures that make inventions material, and on how to overcome the intangibility of ideas, it makes explicit a dimension of patent law that is not commonly found in traditional commentaries, treatises, and cases. The story is told from the perspective of the material media in which the intangible form of the invention is made visible; namely, models, texts, drawings, and biological specimens |
