Abstract
This chapter discusses how familiar aspects of present-day commons strategies were implemented during World War I and World War II to quickly channel collective invention and disseminate innovations. This chapter explores four interrelated themes: first, how the realities of war inspired the creation of commons-like intellectual property (IP) mechanisms; second, how the structure of the military and its professional mores fostered commons-based approaches to IP; third, using a critical legal pluralist framework, the chapter considers the commons-commitments evident in the career of General Andrew McNaughton, a prolific inventor and decorated military man, as he moved from the military to become second president of the (Canadian) National Research Council (NRC); fourth, how war and McNaughton influenced the adoption of commons-like mechanisms in licensing practices at the NRC and created Canada’s first major technology transfer institution.
