Good look at the change from individual to corporate control of innovation and creation, accomplished by changes in business practices and related changes in law. Most useful in demonstrating that the much-vaunted move from status to contract was not necessarily, as proponents often claimed, about expanding freedom; courts were entirely willing to imply terms in the contract that favored the employer and that were inconsistent with past practice. As employees often lacked bargaining power or even knowledge that they needed to bargain, this meant a substantial increase in vulnerability, connected to larger contradictions in the ideology of free labor.

Skilled workers of the early nineteenth century enjoyed a degree of professional independence because workplace knowledge and technical skill were their "property," or at least their attribute. In most sectors of today's economy, however, it is a foundational and widely accepted truth that businesses retain legal ownership of employee-generated intellectual property. In Working Knowledge, Catherine Fisk chronicles the legal and social transformations that led to the transfer of ownership of employee innovation from labor to management. This deeply contested development was won at the expense of workers' entrepreneurial independence and ultimately, Fisk argues, economic democracy. By reviewing judicial decisions and legal scholarship on all aspects of employee-generated intellectual property and combing the archives of major nineteenth-century intellectual property-producing companies--including DuPont, Rand McNally, and the American Tobacco Company--Fisk makes a highly technical area of law accessible to general readers while also addressing scholarly deficiencies in the histories of labor, intellectual property, and the business of technology.
