      abstract = {Economic, political, and social forces are redefining  knowledge as property that can be owned, and institutions  of higher education, as producers of knowledge, are central  participants of this phenomenon.  Debates about  intellectual property are rampant, some arguing that  knowledge should not become a commodity for exchange,  others that intellectual property fosters innovation in  society.  What is not debatable is the importance of the  law for resolving disputes about intellectual property.   Today, the evolving legal context associated with  intellectual property and technological advancements have  created competing interests and demands from individuals,  institutions, and even nations.  The law is often the realm  in which these interests and disputes take place, with more  or less satisfying results.  Colleges and universities must  grapple with not only complex legal issues but also the  philosophical and political consequences associated with  the conversion of intellectual acts into property.  This  monograph pays special attention to the intellectual  property of copyrights and patents.  It examines how legal  parameters, competing interests, and technological advances  take shape in economic, political, and social contexts that  require colleges and universities to make intellectual  property central to their operation. -- p. 4 of cover.},
