From the
publisher...
Patents are the currency of our new economy. This book is a primer
that explains concisely, without legalese, all the relevant issues
to effectively getting and using a patent, from application to enforcement.
It is a must-read for the business manager or entrepreneur who is
new to patents and needs basic patent information in order to be
competitive.
This is not a
how-to book, nor is it a legal treatise. Instead, the book simply
explains the basics of what patents protect and what they don’t
protect, the criteria for obtaining a patent, and common mistakes
to avoid. It compares the forms of intellectual property protection,
presents tables of actual costs to obtain and enforce a patent,
including attorneys fees, and gives specific infringement examples.
This book is short and
sweet. It is written in straightforward, college-level narrative,
simultaneously avoiding legalese and oversimplification. An afternoon
with this book will save you hours of attorney fees. It is sure
to become a standard reference book.
