Book Reviews of Patent, Copyright & Trademark: An Intellectual Property Desk Reference
Book Review: Good foundational book on Intellectual Property
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is an excellent first place to go for people wanting a foundational knowledge of Intellectual Property. In addition to the basics it provides surprisingly comprehensive overview of the three major areas of IP. Making this book an excellent one, and not just a very good one, it also discusses trade secrets. As with most books on Intellectual Property, there is little in the book about who owns patents, how one can transfer ownership to another party, or how one can inadvertantly lose ownership. Overall, though, an excellent book for its stated purpose.
