Managing Intellectual Property Rights (Business Practice Library)

By J. Scott Davidson and Lewis C. Lee

There are four distinct types of intellectual property: patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. This practical, systematic book is designed to help company managers decide which, if any, form of intellectual property protection is most appropriate for their needs. It demonstrates a Protection Analysis Model (flow diagram) which provides a single, coherent decision-making tool which effectively analyzes all intellectual property situations. The model integrates trade secrets, patents (utility and design), copyrights and trademarks in an easy to understand methodology which ensures that a company's intellectual property opportunities are being maximized. The book continually summarizes key points in reference tables, and includes many real-life scenarios and footnotes to case authority to support or explain points. It will be supplemented annually
