Con Diaz’s book on the history of software patent law has just come out from @yalepress! If you’ve ever wondered about the logic of software patenting, or the interlocking histories of tech, biz, & law that created this Frankenstein monster, read Con’s book👍 @SIGCIS @SocHistTech
Cover of the book titled software rights: how patent law transformed software development in America, by Gerardo Con Diaz

ALT Cover of the book titled software rights: how patent law transformed software development in America, by Gerardo Con Diaz

Description of book: the first comprehensive history of software patenting explores how patent law made software development the powerful industry that it is today. Historian Gerardo con Díaz shows how patent law has transformed how companies make, own and profit from software... this is a history of one of the most controversial technologies to ever encounter the American patent system.
