We talked through her two books, Analog Superpowers [https://amzn.to/4gxgGuI](about fire control equipment) and Torpedo [https://amzn.to/4nCRZPJ] (about, well, torpedoes), the latter of which I reviewed here [https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/patents-for-power-intellectual-property-law-and-the-diffusion-of-military-technology#:~:text=Sunday%20Book%20Review%3A%20Torpedo]. We discussed the mechanics of fire control and the history of theft, plagiarism, and legal dispute in the UK and the US, talked about how to build a legal regime that can support an innovative defense industrial base, worked through how these legal structures created the environment in which the Manhattan Project prospered, compared the “young and hungry” versus the “old and established” military organization in terms of innovation, and finally made some observations about the state of the modern defense patent regime. If any of that sounds interesting, tune in! Transcript available here.
