Innovation, Ethics, and Entrepreneurship
chapter
posted on 2023-05-22, 14:57 authored by Miles, MP, Munilla, LS, Covin, JGThis paper is a response to Ray’s (2004) recent proposal that the intellectual property rights (IPR) attached to potentially life saving/life sustaining innovations should become public goods in cases where markets are either unable or unwilling to pay for the creation of the intellectual property. Using a free market approach to innovation based on Western moral philosophy, we suggest that treating intellectually protected life saving/life sustaining innovations as public goods will likely reduce social welfare over the long term.
