Once upon a Time in Intellectual Property Law

What potentials do narratives have for our understanding of the world, both past and present? Can they emerge in areas as factual as university textbooks and patent law? This is a story about how the way we say it can shape the way we know it. This episode is based on the book chapter "Teaching Intellectual Property: Constructing the Historical Narrative of Intellectual Property in University Textbooks" by Marius Buning in the volume "Ownership of Knowledge. Beyond Intellectual Property". This volume is published under Open Access Licensing. Read online for free by clicking on the links above.
