Using extensive industry case studies of fashion, fonts, jokes, recipes, and other sectors, they remind us that a coherent intellectual property policy inherently involves trading off protection and imitation. "Raustiala and Sprigman have some good news: copying and creativity can co-exist. Let us hope that policymakers get the message and restore balance to our intellectual property system." -Hal Varian, Chief Economist, Google "Policymakers still-astonishingly-have a mistake at the core of their understanding of how innovation happens. This beautifully written and brilliant book by two of America's most creative thinkers corrects that mistake, and launches an incredibly important project to understand just how much law creativity requires." -Lawrence Lessig, author of Remix and The Future of Ideas"Kal Raustiala and Christopher Sprigman have written a fascinating look at the

Your bigKal Raustiala is Professor of Law at UCLA and the author of Does the Constitution Follow the Flag? Christopher Sprigman is the Class of 1963 Research Professor at the University of Virginia School of Law.In others, the freedom to copy actually promotes creativity. But are copyrights and patents always necessary? In The Knockoff Economy, Kal Raustiala and Christopher Sprigman provocatively argue that creativity can not only survive in the face of copying, but can thrive. Raustiala and Sprigman carry their analysis from food to font design to football plays to finance, examining how and why each of these vibrant industries remains innovative even when imitation is common. High fashion gave rise to the very term "knockoff," yet the freedom to imitate great designs only makes the fashion cycle run faster--and forces the fashion industry to be even more creative.
