السوابق المبكرة

تطور نظام براءات الاختراع الحديث

في 19 مارس 1474، صدر قانون براءة الاختراع البندقي كان الأول من نوعه في العالم، وقد أعلن أن "كل شخص في هذه المدينة، يصنع أي جهاز جديد وعبقري، لم يكن يُصنع حتى ذلك الوقت في أرضنا، فبمجرد إكتماله، يصبح ممنوعاً على أي شخص آخر في أي منطقة أو مكان تابع لنا أن يصنع أي جهاز آخر بشكل أو شبه ذلك الجهاز، بدون موافقة وتصريح صاحب الاختراع، وذلك لمدة عشر سنوات." وكان الهدف من القانون جذب المخترعين والمستثمرين إلى البندقية ولتحفيز أنشطة اقتصادية جديدة، فكانت أحد عوامل انطلاق عصر النهضة.


James Puckle's 1718 early autocannon was one of the first inventions required to provide a specification for a patent.

نقد

Under the influence of the ascendant economic philosophy of free trade economics in England, the patent law began to be criticised in the 1850s as obstructing research and benefiting the few at the expense of public good.[2] The campaign against patenting expanded to target copyright too and, in the judgment of historian Adrian Johns, "remains to this day the strongest [campaign] ever undertaken against intellectual property", coming close to abolishing patents.[3]

Its most prominent activists - Isambard Kingdom Brunel, William Robert Grove, William Armstrong and Robert A. MacFie - were inventors and entrepreneurs, and it was also supported by radical laissez-faire economists (The Economist published anti-patent views), law scholars, scientists (who were concerned that patents were obstructing research) and manufacturers.[4] Johns summarizes some of their main arguments as follows:[5]

[Patents] projected an artificial idol of the single inventor, radically denigrated the role of the intellectual commons, and blocked a path to this commons for other citizens — citizens who were all, on this account, potential inventors too. [...] Patentees were the equivalent of squatters on public land — or better, of uncouth market traders who planted their barrows in the middle of the highway and barred the way of the people.

Similar debates took place during that time in other European countries such as France, Prussia, Switzerland and the Netherlands.[6] Based on the criticism of patents as state-granted monopolies inconsistent with free trade, هولندا abolished patents in 1869 (having established them in 1817), and did not reintroduce them until 1912.[7] In Switzerland, criticism of patents delayed the introduction of patent laws until 1907.[6][7]

In England, despite much public debate, the system wasn't abolished - it was reformed with the Patent Law Amendment Act of 1852. This simplified procedure for obtaining patents, reduced fees and created one office for the entire المملكة المتحدة, instead of different systems for England and Wales and Scotland. In France as well, a similar controversy erupted in the 1860s and reforms were made.[8]
