- “Patents and Copyrights” (An article by Ayn Rand in Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, available for purchase from the Ayn Rand Bookstore)
“Patents and copyrights are the legal implementation of the base of all property rights: a man’s right to the product of his mind.”
“Patents and Copyrights,” Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal
“[P]atents are the heart and core of property rights, and that once they are destroyed, the destruction of all other rights will follow automatically, as a brief postscript.”
