<pre wrap="">This is a good resource for works dealing with patent issues from an anti-IP perspective:

But, since patents do require the use of force to enforce, the burden should fall on the patent advocate to support them. Where is your peer-reviewed evidence for patents working?

Nice resource and very timely. I am in the process of creating and a
small group talk called "IP and the Future". I was tempted to call it
"IP vs the Future" but that seemed prejudicial. :) Thanks!<br>

Quick Google search gives me:

" It’s extraordinary how the myth that patents somehow promote innovation is
still propagated and widely accepted; and yet there is practically *no*
empirical evidence that it’s true. All the studies that have looked at this
area rigorously come to quite a different conclusion."

### That's the problem with a quick search - you can find a document
in support of virtually any opinion that has ever been articulated by
humankind.
Now, give me a direct link to a preferably peer-reviewed publication
on the subject of efficiency of patent law, and we could have a
discussion.
