Interview with Mikey McGovern on NewBooksNetwork.com, 19 February 2015.

"My book is a study of the intellectual property and the pharmaceutical industry in the nineteenth-century United States. In the interview I discuss attitudes toward patents and trademarks among pharmaceutical manufacturers, the relationship between medical ethics and changing attitudes toward the monopolization of healing goods among physicians, and the transformation of intellectual property law – including both changes in patent law that allowed for the patenting of naturally occurring substances and changes in trademark law that led to the concept of generic names."
