商品描述
This book takes as its starting point recent debates over the dematerialisation of subject matter which have arisen because of changes in information technology, molecular biology, and related fields that produced a subject matter with no obvious material form or trace. Arguing against the idea that dematerialisation is a uniquely twenty-first century problem, this book looks at three situations where US patent law has already dealt with a dematerialised subject matter: nineteenth century chemical inventions, computer-related inventions in the 1970s, and biological subject matter across the twentieth century. In looking at what we can learn from these historical accounts about how the law responded to a dematerialised subject matter and the role that science and technology played in that process, this book provides a history of patentable subject matter in the United States. This title is available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書以近期關於主題非物質化的辯論為起點,這些辯論是由於資訊技術、分子生物學和相關領域的變革所引起的,這些變革產生了一個沒有明顯物質形式或痕跡的主題。本書反對非物質化是唯一存在於21世紀的問題的觀點,它探討了三個美國專利法已經處理過非物質化主題的情況:19世紀的化學發明、1970年代的計算機相關發明以及20世紀的生物主題。通過研究這些歷史案例,我們可以了解法律如何應對非物質化主題以及科學和技術在這個過程中扮演的角色,本書提供了美國可專利主題的歷史。此書可在劍橋核心平台上以開放存取方式獲得。
