  • Reinventing Discovery: Patent Law’S Characterizations of and Interventions Upon Science
    _________________________________ SYMPOSIUM SCHOLAR _________________________________ REINVENTING DISCOVERY: PATENT LAW’S CHARACTERIZATIONS OF AND INTERVENTIONS UPON SCIENCE † ARIEL SIMON This Article concerns the sway of intellectual property law over scientists and their institutions. Patent monopolies encourage scientists and innovators to invent, but we rarely ask “as opposed to doing what?” I argue that the “what” is, at least some of the time, “basic” (nonpatentable) scientific research and discovery. This Article questions the viability of the discovery/invention distinction in patent law and considers the consequences that it has long had on the scientific enterprise. This Article has four aims: (1) to re-engage a once-vibrant conversation about what, if any, property rights should inhere to “basic” scientific research products at the margins of existing categories of intellectual property law; (2) to contrast patent law’s consequential and idiosyncratic characterizations of “ba- sic” and “applied” science with those of other disciplines; (3) to highlight the distortions that patents foist upon the scientific enterprise by attaching monopo- lies to some research products but not others—affecting the distribution of scien- tific talent, the focus of research, the investment priorities of public and private actors, and so on; and (4) to reconsider the government’s approach to basic- research funding. A view of patents as a legal construct layered upon science, In its Symposium Scholar Essay Competition, the Law Review solicited entries from law school students and recent graduates on the topic of intellectual property reform. The following piece was selected as the winner. † J.D., Stanford Law School, 2007; M.Sc. (Biology), Oxford University, 2004; B.A.

    SHAUL KATZIR* Employment Before Formulation: Uses of Downloaded from http://online.ucpress.edu/hsns/article-pdf/49/1/1/377888/hsns_2019_49_1_1.pdf by Max Planck Institute for the History of Science user on 15 June 2021 Proto-Energetic Arguments ABSTRACT The historiography of the principle of energy conservation has concentrated on the formulation of the law by a few individual scientists. This paper turns to the employment of energetic considerations, examining the uses of related arguments in scientific reasoning before the formulation of a well-defined principle. It shows that conceptual ambiguity and a limited formal realm of validity did not prevent the successful employment of such notions to generate novel scientific results. From the late 1810s to the 1840s, researchers including Fresnel, Ampe` re, Carnot, Roget, Faraday, and Liebig invoked proto-energetic arguments to address particular pro- blems concerning wave optics, electromagnetism, theory of electric batteries, heat motors, and animal heat. Thereby they extended the realm of applicability of argu- ments based on the conservation of “power” beyond non-frictional mechanical systems, where the conservation of the living forces (vis viva) was accepted in the early nineteenth century; they also furnished scientists a theoretical toolkit with a new powerful method. Their development of proto-energetic arguments as tools for reasoning was an important historical process in itself, which together with other developments led to the emergence of “energy physics.” This history, thus, exem- plifies the important role played by practices of reasoning in the formation of scientific laws and principles. KEY WORDS: energy conservation, principles, rational mechanics, electrodynamics, Andre-Marie´ Ampe`re, Augustine Fresnel, Justus Liebig, Michael Faraday *The Cohn Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Ideas, Tel Aviv University, [email protected].
