In the two hundred plus years since the Constitution enshrined protections for those who create and innovate, we're still debating the merits of IP laws and whether or not they actually work as intended. Artists, scientists, businesses, and the lawyers who serve them, as well as the Americans who benefit from their creations all still wonder: what facilitates innovation and creativity in our digital age? And what role, if any, do our intellectual property laws play in the growth of innovation and creativity in the United States? \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIncentivizing the progress of science and the useful arts has been the goal of intellectual property law since our constitutional beginnings. \u003ci\u003eThe Eureka Myth\u003c\/i\u003e cuts through the current debates and goes straight to the source: the artists and innovators themselves. Silbey makes sense of the intersections between intellectual property law and creative and innovative activity by centering on the stories told by artists, scientists, their employers, lawyers and managers, describing how and why they create and innovate and whether or how IP law plays a role in their activities. Their employers, business partners, managers, and lawyers also describe their role in facilitating the creative and innovative work. Silbey's connections and distinctions made between the stories and statutes serve to inform present and future innovative and creative communities. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBreaking new ground in its examination of the U.S. economy and cultural identity, \u003ci\u003eThe Eureka Myth\u003c\/i\u003e draws out new and surprising conclusions about the sometimes misinterpreted relationships between creativity and intellectual property protections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Silbey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford Law Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804783378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/16\/2015 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJessica Silbey\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Law at Suffolk University Law School.
