Discurso pronunciado en la Universidad Central en el acto de recibir la solemne investidura de Doctor en Jurisprudencia por Ignacio M. Casado, 1859

Abstract:
Perhaps the earliest record of an academic award given to a scholarly work devoted to the discipline of copyright is Miguel Casado’s fifteen-page thesis. The doctorate was issued by the Universidad Central (Madrid) and despite its brevity; Casado’s work anticipated some of the ingredients that would characterize the making of scholarship around modern intellectual property. Surely the most interesting element is a simultaneous desire to differentiate the discipline from land law and a peculiar anxiety about the origins and justifications of intellectual property.

Commentary: No commentaries for this record.
