Description: Editorial ReviewsReview"Immensely informative."― New York Review of Books"Gabriel’s brilliant account of patent and trademark law and use is the first comprehensive attempt to integrate the history of pharmaceuticals . . . in the wider setting of economic history and intellectual property law history and represents a milestone in that respect."― Isis"In his thought-provoking and well-researched book, Gabriel explores the evolution of patenting, and to a lesser extent, trademark registration, in the American pharmaceutical industry. It is a fascinating and timely contribution."― EH.net"To legal historians interested in the regulatory state and corporate capitalism, Gabriel's well researched book offers new insight into monopoly as an analytic category and antimonopoly sentiment as a driver for law and policy. Gabriel also provides a unique perspective on the development of modem intellectual property, a story not previously told from the viewpoint of pharmacists and travelling drug salesmen."― Law & History Review"This fascinating book serves as a pointed reminder that the sources of therapeutic rationale are just as much tied to the production and regulation of therapies as the collective decision-making on ethical practice."― New Books in Medicine"Medical Monopoly: Intellectual Property Rights and the Origins of the Modern Pharmaceutical Industry, by historian of medicine and the biomedical sciences Joseph M.Gabriel, is a significant and beautifully written book. By linking the study of patenting and other monopolistic practices in the pharmaceutical industry, such as trademarks, to the history of therapeutic reform, it makes an original and valuable contribution to the historiography in a variety of fields, from intellectual property to therapeutic reform, medical ethics, and the pharmaceutical industry. Medical Monopoly is therefore of relevance to a broad range of scholars, but also to clinicians, bioethicists, and the wider public concerned by the power of companies and the potential for conflicts of interest within modern medicine."― Bulletin of the History of MedicineProduct detailsPublisher : University of Chicago Press; 1st edition (October 24, 2014)Language : EnglishHardcover : 328 pagesISBN-10 : 022610818XISBN-13 : 978-0226108186Item Weight : 1.31 poundsDimensions : 9.26 x 6.4 x 0.95 inchesItem Number : 26It has a plastic wrap.
