Intellectual property deskbook for the business lawyer

"This updated fourth edition is a valuable and practical 'go-to' reference for general practitioners, business lawyers, and corporate counsel who need to quickly learn and understand the intellectual property (IP) issues that arise in various business contexts. It is expanded to include three new chapters on IP assignments; music licensing; and IP issues that arise in advertising, as well as recent changes to the existing 20 chapters. Each chapter of the book focuses on a particular business transaction, from IP issues related to business start-ups and real-estate transactions to IP issues that arise in mergers and acquisitions and bankruptcy proceedings."--
