- Summary
- Describing how the Founders were anti-monopolies, and that patents are essentially monopolies (though limited in duration); therefore, patents are an exception to the general ban on monopolies. 37. Thus, if the Founders intended to give Congress the power to issue patents (i.e. exclusive rights to inventors for their inventions, for limited times), the power would need to be given expressly. Id. Jefferson's anti-monopoly rationale and discussion may be found at 55.
