It is a comprehensive book that addresses the typical tasks encountered by practitioners, combining both substantive knowledge of the law with the practical focus required of IP practitioners. The manuscript is divided into five sections, an introduction and the topics that create intellectual property - trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets. Understanding of each topic is critical to the long-term success of IP professionals, whether they function in law firms, government agencies or in private sector businesses. Customer Reviews: Review #1: Cost 2002-04-26 The book has some interesting information but it is certainly not worth the cost. Many of the legal conclusions seem unsupported and the text is poorly edited. Review #2: Up to the "right this minute" commentary! 2000-06-12 Looking for a very good layman's explaination of Intellectual Property? This thorough explaination of the newest frontier of law is exactly what you need. The best part, reference charts and websites will help you "zoom" into the subject matter!
