Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the 1798 repeal of the 14-year exclusive steam-powered boat patent initially granted to John Fitch by the state of New York and subsequent grant of the same privileges to Chancellor Robert Livingston, focusing on the suggestion that Livingston's initial request was the result of false pretenses. The author, a New York Legislator, meticulously examines the implications of both grants in the context of state authority, intellectual property protections, morality, fairness, and the public interest while exploring ideas surrounding common law, natural rights, and Federal versus State jurisdiction. Touching on parallel issues of proprietary rights regarding inventions and patents, this book positions the Livingston case within a crucial moment in the development of intellectual property law in the United States. An appendix reprinting key legal documents relevant to the case provides an in-depth look at arguments shaping debates over public policy, private interests, and the responsibilities of government. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
