Edited by Stathis Arapostathis, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece and Graham Dutfield, University of Leeds, UK

’Arapostathis and Dutfield's rich and well-edited collection offers a cogent challenge to patent-centred views of innovation. Their seventeen authors persuasively show that patenting is just one of a repertoire of tools successfully used to protect innovative work in a broad variety of context-dependent ways. It is essential reading for anyone wanting to learn about past contingencies in the transformation of techno-scientific creativity into wealth.’- Graeme Gooday, University of Leeds, UK
