This Guide aims to assist users in searching for technology information using patent documents, a rich source of technical, legal and business information presented in a generally standardized format and often not reproduced anywhere else. Though the Guide focuses on patent information, many of the search techniques described here can also be applied in searching other non-patent sources of technology information.

As technological developments multiply around the globeâ€"even as the patenting of human genes comes under serious discussionâ€"nations, companies, and researchers find themselves in conflict over intellectual property rights (IPRs). Now, an international group of experts presents the first multidisciplinary look at IPRs in an age of explosive growth in science and technology. This thought-provoking volume offers an update on current international IPR negotiations and includes case studies on software, computer chips, optoelectronics, and biotechnologyâ€"areas characterized by high development cost and easy reproducibility. The volume covers these and other issues: Modern economic theory as a basis for approaching international IPRs. U.S. intellectual property practices versus those in Japan, India, the European Community, and the developing and newly industrializing countries. Trends in science and technology and how they affect IPRs. Pros and cons of a uniform international IPRs regime versus a system reflecting national differences.

I argue that when a natural monopoly exists, the natural monopoly holder - whether an accused monopolist under antitrust law, or a copyright or patent owner under intellectual property law - should be subject only to a liability rule of compulsory licensing, no more and no less. While the essential facility doctrine of antitrust law already reflects this rule, the reverse doctrine of equivalents in patent law and the Feist originality doctrine in copyright law have not yet been applied in this way. Thus, this paper represents both a summary of existing law and an agenda for shaping its development in the future.
