The Revista Chilena de Historia del Derecho<\/em>, a fully electronic journal, invites original, unpublished contributions for a special issue on the histories of intellectual property.<\/p>\n

Since the 15th century and the invention of printing in Europe, intellectual property has gradually developed into a legal institution, marked by the meeting of the logics of creation, economics and law. Its history and dissemination evidence the changing relationship between the author, inventor, creator, or breeder, society and the State.<\/p>\n

The aim of this special issue is to examine this institution over the long term and beyond European borders. The aim is to gain a better understanding of the historical conditions that led to the emergence of the various forms of intellectual property<\/em> from the 18th century onwards (literary and artistic property, copyright, patents, etc.).<\/p>\n

Contributions may focus on, but are not limited to, the following areas:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 History of copyright and related rights<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00b7 History of pharmaceutical patent and drug law<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00b7 Brand history and trade mark registration.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00b7 History of scientific property (inventions, discoveries)<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00b7 History of corporate law and its relationship with employees\u2019 skill and knowledge<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00b7 History of the legal professionalisation of intellectual property rights (specialised lawyers, agents and courts)<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00b7 History of the protection of plant varieties and living organisms<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00b7 The historical challenges of protecting intangible heritage<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Contributions may also address specific methodological or theoretical issues, provided they have a historical dimension.<\/p>\n
