INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY HISTORY

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS | INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY HISTORY     Intellectual Property Rights, Intellectual Property History has a readily accessible literature about the evolution of Intellectual Property as a concept or practice. This reflected the perceptions that most major questions had been settled and that the antecedents of current law were only of interest to historians of law or those concerned with the 'rise of the author'. New technologies over the past twenty years have resulted in a wider interest in the origin of intellectual property and how it has changed to reflect evolving attitudes to authors and innovators and changing markets.   Intellectual Property History had started over five hundred years, intellectual property has been an integral part of public policy and economic development. From its early beginning in fifteenth century Venice , through its early development when British awarded monopoly privileges to those who introduced new techniques into the kingdom and then to American policy purposely discriminating foreigners in order to foster domestic innovation.   Intellectual Property History has helped policy makers to use intellectual property policy as a tool for economic development. Intellectual Property is of great importance to society as it endeavors to protect rights of the public, the creators of the works and set guidelines and boundaries to be abided by in the use of technological advances. As a area of law, intellectual property is clearly very important, going back to the first printing press and the medieval guilds.   The Intellectual Property History consists of historical foundations upon which copyright and intellectual property law were built. The copyright and intellectual property law varies from country to country depending on their respective needs at time. The law of copyright which evolved in England after the development of the printing press in the fifteenth century differed in significant respects to that which had emerged in Europe, while having little impact on the nascent system for rewarding inventors with letter, patent granting them exclusive rights over the exploitation of their inventions.   The beginning of Copyright law in Australia was dictated by those governing the United Kingdom in the nineteenth century. An example of this was the NSW Copyright Act 1879. This trend has continued after federation as Germany of the early federal statues were little more than re- enactments of their British counterpart as the Copyright Act 1912. The Copyright Act 1922 was in force throughout Australia . While following federation in 1901, the laws were passed into the power of Australian Parliament.   Acts passed by the parliament continued in the United Kingdom , even after the laws has been stopped there. An example is the Copyright Act 1912 which was in force till 1969. In Australia till date, the copyright and intellectual property laws that govern restraint over the use of the original works of another still echo those of the United Kingdom .
