The laws covering intellectual property--those products of the imagination with commercial value, such as fictional writing, software designs, product names, and mechanical inventions--have long boggled the minds of the uninitiated. With the advent of online commerce and publishing, the issues have only gotten more confusing. The new edition of Patent, Copyright & Trademark: A Desk Reference to Intellectual Property Law, by attorney Stephen Elias, offers plain-English explanations and practical advice on this increasingly complex topic. Elias covers everything from the laws themselves to their specific applications in different media.
Book Description
The most concise and comprehensive explanations of intellectual property law available!
Whether you're an Edison, Faulkner or Jobs, you need Patent, Copyright & Trademark.
Intellectual property law has rapidly produced its own language. But don't count on understanding it right off the bat -- the language baffles lawyers and lay folk alike. Whether you're an inventor, designer, writer or programmer, you need to understand the language of intellectual property law to intelligently deal with such issues as:
who owns creative works or valuable information
how these owners can protect and enforce their ownership rights
how disputes between intellectual-property owners can be resolved
how ownership rights can best be transferred to others
and many more
With this essential guide, you will:
get clear overviews of relevant laws
understand the different kinds of protection offered by patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets -- and which apply to your work
get a plain-English definition of every term you're likely to come across
find the information you need, quickly and easily -- all entries are organized by topic and extensively cross-referenced
The 9th edition is completely updated to provide the latest law and court decisions, new definitions and additional resources. It also covers new topics such as "patent trolls" and the Supreme Court's decision in KSR v. Teleflex.

 Good foundational book on Intellectual Property February 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
We needed this December 28, 2007
We needed this for our small buisness. We bought this for a reference book it is a good one...
Great Resource September 8, 2007
Excellent follow-up to the previous Nolo editions. Layout of the book was not as graphically pleasing, but the information is straightforward and well presented.
 The book is subpar September 24, 2006

I bought this book as a primer reference to patents. What I got was a dictionary of words. This book pretty much is a dictionary without a lot of explanations. Really basic terms also. A lot of basic paraphrasing instead of actual text from the 35 USC manual.
Legal Information without the Legalese March 11, 2006
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This book is easy-to-use and highly detailed with an appealing, bulleted layout and many illustrations that helped to answer most of my basic questions about the four categories of intellectual property (copyright, patents, trademarks and trade secrets). I took a graduate-level library science course on the legal aspects of information and borrowed several books on IP from the library. This Nolo Press book was the one that I kept coming back to and wound up buying. I was glad I waited for the updated 7th edition, which now includes an index. The book is divided into completely logical sections on definitions, statutes, forms and an overview, all of which make this book a joy to read. The text is written in plain English and the entries are cross-referenced and other resources are given. This is a legal book written by lawyers, but the legalese is edited out and only very useful information remains. If you need one basic legal reference book on IP, this is the one you'll keep reaching for.
