The patent system is criticized today by some practitioners and economists. In fact, there is a partial disconnection between patent demographics and productivity gains, but also the development of actors who do not innovate and who develop business models that their detractors equate with a capture of annuities or a dangerous commodification of patents. This book provides a less Manichaean view of the position of patents in the system of contemporary innovation. It first recalls that these criticisms are not new, before arguing that if these criticisms have been revived, it is because of a partial shift from an integrated innovation system to a much more fragmented and open system. This shift accompanied the promotion of a more competitive economy. The authors show that this movement is coherent with a more intensive use of patents, but also one that is more focused on their signal function than on their function of direct monetary incentive to innovation.

Internet governance is a simple term without a simple definition. In the name of Internet sovereignty, nations have begun to implement various regulations to control the flow of information within or across their virtual territorial boundaries. The unique interconnected and multilateral characteristics of the Internet renders it impossible for one nation alone to provide adequate solutions to managing the Internet. The author argues that many of the issues related to Internet governance should be allocated to international institutions and a nation's sovereign power over the Internet should be bounded by its commitments and responsibilities under international law. In the absence of a coherent regulatory framework, this book examines whether the existing international legal systems are sufficiently generic to accommodate the challenges brought about by technological developments.

PHM Society established International Journal of Prognostics and Health Management (IJPHM) in 2009 to facilitate archival publication of peer-reviewed results from research and development in the area of PHM. As a journal solely dedicated to the emerging field of PHM IJPHM is the first of its kind and has been a focal point for dissemination of peer-reviewed PHM knowledge. While for the first few years the journal maintained only an online presence, the printed volumes will now be available and can be obtained upon request. The first IJPHM volume came out in 2010 with three research papers that discussed the key issue of PHM performance that is still relevant to the maturing field of PHM.
