Fisk\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkilled workers of the early nineteenth century enjoyed a degree of professional independence because workplace knowledge and technical skill were their \"property,\" or at least their attribute. In most sectors of today's economy, however, it is a foundational and widely accepted truth that businesses retain legal ownership of employee-generated intellectual property.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWorking Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e, Catherine Fisk chronicles the legal and social transformations that led to the transfer of ownership of employee innovation from labor to management. This deeply contested development was won at the expense of workers' entrepreneurial independence and ultimately, Fisk argues, economic democracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy reviewing judicial decisions and legal scholarship on all aspects of employee-generated intellectual property and combing the archives of major nineteenth-century intellectual property-producing companies -- including DuPont, Rand McNally, and the American Tobacco Company -- Fisk makes a highly technical area of law accessible to general readers while also addressing scholarly deficiencies in the histories of labor, intellectual property, and the business of technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 376\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.83 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45494473883727,"sku":"9781469622200","price":71.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/3083\/3487\/files\/iOhIOkZ84i9781469622200.webp?v=1780692951","url":"https:\/\/lumaryon.com\/products\/working-knowledge-employee-innovation-and-the-rise-of-corporate-intellectual-property-1800-1930-paperback","provider":"Lumaryon Universal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
