In this episode, Scott Guthery, a patent advisor and inventor, Julie Burke, founder of the IP Quality Pro patent consulting firm, and Michael Risch, Professor of Law at Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law, discuss their new book, "Unfettered Invention: How the X Patents Sparked Early American Technology," which is published by Docent Press. They introduce the "X patents," which were issued from 1791 to 1836, when the Patent Office fire destroyed all of the Patent Office records. They explain how patent law changed after 1836 and the process of reconstructing the X patent files. And they reflect on what we can learn about invention in the Early American Public from the X patents collection.This episode was hosted by Brian L.
