Intellectual Property

"This excellent book provides important analytical tools and innovative perspectives for those who recognize that dealing with patents and copyrights is not just for lawyers anymore, but has become an essential management task."
—Eli Noam, Professor of Finance and Economics, and Director of the Columbia Institute for Tele-Information, Columbia Business School

The world of intellectual property changes faster than you can say "precedent-setting lawsuit"—and it's crucial to keep up with those changes, even if you're not a patent attorney. Essentials of Intellectual Property, Second Edition is a concise, lively, and often witty introduction to the world of patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets for non-lawyers.

In these pages, you'll find a clear discussion of concepts such as:

• IP strategy, valuation, audits, and management—how to know what your IP is worth and manage it accordingly
• Patent triage—knowing when to "let go" of unprofitable patents, or monetize under used patents
• Patent enforcement—strategies to use and fatal errors to avoid
• Licensing and cross-licensing—crafting a deal that works for all parties
• Contract work, non-competition agreements, and works-for-hire—making sure you own the IP you paid employees or contractors to create

This Second Edition also includes a summary of the latest precedent-setting IP lawsuits and how the legal landscape has changed over the past decade, as well as a list of some of the most important (and sometimes, controversial) reforms that Congress has proposed to the U.S. patent system.

Thorough, understandable, and business-savvy, Essentials of Intellectual Property, Second Edition will quickly bring you up to date on everything you need to know about patents and other forms of intellectual property.
