Why Patents and Copyrights Matter
"Why do patents and copyrights
matter? What do they protect? What to make of the objections against them? For

that these rights are obstacles to progress and innovation; or that they’re an
unfair, government-granted privilege or favor?
To explore these issues, I
talked to Professor Adam Mossoff,
who teaches law at George Mason University. Mossoff is an expert on
intellectual property law and policy, who has published extensively in academic
journals and popular outlets, including the Wall
Street Journal, New York Times, and
Politico, among many others. He has testified several times before the Senate
and the House of Representatives."
