Buning analyses the institutional framework in which \"innovative knowledge\" could develop in the Dutch Republic from a variety of perspectives. This is not only a comprehensive study of patent law and its administrative and legal framework during the first four decades of the Dutch republic, it also opens up new perspectives on a wide range of issues in cultural and political history— from truth claims in early modern science to issues concerning mercantilism and Dutch seventeenth-century processes of state formation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  List of Figures and Tables    Introduction      Preliminary      Scope and objectives      Outline     1 Inventing a System     The Dutch Revolt: Setting the stage      Patents in the Habsburg Netherlands       The political organization of the Dutch Republic       Patents amidst constitutional confusion       Conclusions     2 Administrative Practices      The application process \t  Examinations and rewards       Areas of usage: war, trade and industry      Conclusions       3.
