Protection Of Industrial Property, Edward S. Rogers

Michigan Law Review

It is perhaps too much to attempt a discussion of the origin and history of the common law in an introductory note like this. Suffice it to say that the common law is unwritten and is an inheritance from the English colonists who brought it to North America from England. The common law is the law of the several states. In the United States there is no national common law.
