Description
Veteran science journalist Seth Shulman takes us on a shocking journey through today's battles for control over the intangible new assets - genes, software, databases, and scientific information - that make up the lifeblood of the new economy. We meet doctors who sue colleagues for using new medical procedures they claim to own. We find university researchers thrown in jail for "stealing" their own ideas; software firms holding the entire industry for ransom over basic, widely used programming techniques; and life-saving cancer treatments kept from dying patients by legal wrangles over the underlying technology.
