Innovators, Firms, and Markets challenges the prevailing policy consensus that robustly enforced intellectual property rights suppress competition and innovation by protecting incumbents from entry threats. Jonathan M. Barnett argues that IP rights enhance competition and innovation by enabling entry by idea-rich but capital-poor firms that may otherwise be blocked from the market.
