. 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, and
. how ownership rights can best be transferred to others.
With this Patent, Copyright & Trademark, 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, and
. find the information you need, quickly and easily -- all entries are organized by topic and extensively cross-referenced.
