History and Sources of Intellectual Property Law

History and Sources of Intellectual Property Law | Library & Information Science | Scoop.it

Intellectual property law dates at least as far back as medieval Europe. In those times, “guilds,” or associations of artisans in a particular industry, were granted authority by the governments to control the regulation and conduct of the various industries. These guilds exercised control over what items could be imported, marketed and produced and the manner in which new inventions, devices and procedures could be introduced to the stream of commerce. Because the authorities for these guilds were given by the governments, and because they concentrated the power to regulate an industry in a select few, and were not earned by innovation, skill or creativity, these guilds did far more to stifle creativity and invention than to encourage it.
