The Pragmatic Incrementalism Of Common Law Intellectual Property, Shyamkrishna Balganesh
All Faculty Scholarship
‘Common law intellectual property’ refers to a set of judge-made legal regimes that create exclusionary entitlements in different kinds of intangibles.

These different roads are noticeable mainly in the different emphases different systems place on two critical elements in the realization of the Rule of Law State, namely rules and the machinery for implementing the rules, i.e., courts and administrative agencies.
