Against Intellectual Monopoly

In the modern theory of growth, monopoly plays a crucial role as both a cause and an effect of innovation. Innovative firms naturally gain monopoly power for some period of time, and it is argued without the prospect of monopoly power in the form of “intellectual property” would have insufficient incentive to innovate. In fact intellectual monopoly is costly, dangerous, and neither needed for, nor a necessary consequence of, innovation. In particular, intellectual property may hurt more than help innovation and growth, and as a practical matter, is more likely to hurt. To the extent that intellectual property is helpful, as the economy grows or as trade expands through agreements such as the WTO, the length of protection should be reduced.
