Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the controversy over the exclusive right to use steam power to propel boats in the United States in the early 1800s. The author examines the intellectual property rights of inventors John Fitch and Robert Livingston and the legal strategy used to deny Fitch his rightful claim to the invention of the steamboat. The work also discusses the role of former New York governor Morgan Lewis in annulling Fitch's patent on the grounds that he had failed to meet the terms of the patent, his failure to build a working steamboat within a specific time frame, which allowed Livingston to patent his own design. This book presents a thorough discussion of how legal maneuvering and political influence shaped the development of steamboat technology in the United States. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
