What is the connection between the Mona Lisa, the light bulb, and a Lego brick? The answer, intellectual property (IP), may surprise you, because IP laws are all about us, but they are mostly ignored. They are complicated and arcane, and few people understand why copyright, patents, and trademarks are important. Claudy Op den Kamp and Dan Hunter have assembled a group of contributors from around the world in fields such as law, history, sociology, science and technology, media, and even horticulture to tell the story of intellectual property in 50 objects in the book A History of Intellectual Property in 50 Objects. These objects not only demonstrate the importance of the IP system, but also how it has evolved and influenced history. Each object is at the heart of a story that anyone interested in how great innovations provide a unique window into our past, present, and future will enjoy.
