Does Intellectual Property Protection Mean Pursuit of Patent Perpetuity
The two books reviewed in this essay vary greatly in style and content, but both deplore the present state of the American patent system and use historical material only to buttress their complaint. Lawyer Matsuura views Jefferson's ambivalent attitude toward patents as based in his populism, while economists Boldrin and Levine argue that patents are both unnecessary and pernicious in their effect on invention and innovation. The authors of both …
Patents since the Renaissance (review)
Reviewed by: Patents since the Renaissance Carolyn C. Cooper (bio) Patents since the Renaissance. By William J. Flynn . Booklocker.com, Inc., 2006. Pp. x+242. $19.82. The sixteen chapters of this print-on-demand book, whose author is a patent lawyer and former patent examiner in the U.S. Patent Office, are well-written, interesting—frequently even wryly entertaining—and certainly worth reading by anyone interested in patent system history. Howeve…

Myth, Rumor, and History: The Yankee Whittling Boy as Hero and Villain
Myth formation and rumor formation share characteristics, due to transmission from person to person over time, of elaboration, exaggeration, simplification, fabrication, and retention of colorful detail. History formation unchecked by annotation and scrutiny also shares these characteristics, as exemplified by ascription of inventions in the nineteenth century to heroic inventors. Despite their aim of debunking myths, historians of technology are…
Rooms Near Chancery Lane: The Patent Office under the Commissioners, 1852-1883 (review)
This slim and tersely written history of the mid-Victorian British Patent Office begs for expansion. With its notes, it should certainly help stimulate and inform the research of any future writer of a sequel to the studies by Christine MacLeod (Inventing the Industrial Revolution: The English Patent System, 1660-1800 [1988]) and Harold I. Dutton (The Patent System and Inventive Activity during the Industrial Revolution, 1750-1852 [1984]). John H…

Making Inventions Patent
Fra Giordano went on to tell the faithful assembled that day in Florence's Santa Maria Novella that only twenty years earlier there was discovered the art of making spectacles which help you to see well, and which is one of the best and most necessary in the world ....

The Ghost in the Kitchen: Household Technology at the Brattleboro Museum, Vermont
Any home's kitchen is an exceedingly complex social artifact. Historically speaking, it is a relatively recently specialized room for food preparation within a family's dwelling and a descendant of the space around the cave dwellers' hearth and the medieval fireplace. The kitchen stove itself has gradually lost the task of household heating, which, in modern homes, is banished to the furnace room (belying the admonition, If you can't stand the he…

The Production Line at Portsmouth Block Mill
This report assesses the efficiency in timing and layout of the mass-production system at the Portsmouth Dockyard block mill in the early 1800s. It is based on study of the extant buildings and machines as well as pictorial and written evidence from the past. Early output figures for some of the block-making machines reveal 8 to 17 per cent discrepancies from perfect coordination in timing. This difficulty was apparently offset by use of duplicat…
