Virtual Monopoly: Building an Intellectual Property Strategy for Creative Advantage - From Patents to Trademarks, From Copyrights to Design Rights (Hardcover)

Reviewer - Jerome Spaargaren (London, UK):
Christopher Pike is not your run-of-the mill intellectual property adviser. Although qualified as a patent and trade mark attorney (advocate), his experience in dealing with business management issues comes through very directly when reading this book.
It is not always appreciated that there is a whole host of available strategies for businesses which are, knowingly and in some cases not, involved in generating intellectual property. Intellectual property generators often need commercially minded guidance appropriate to their markets and their approach to business as to how their intellectual property can be used to create value.

First Sentence:
When the Canada House conference in which this collection of essays is rooted was set up and subsequently when the topics and the essential components of a book treating the issue of copyright, and other intellectual property rights, and human rights were discussed amongst the series editor, the editor of this collection and the contributors it seemed obvious to think of the issue as one involving copyright and intellectual property rights in general on the one hand and human rights on the other hand.

Intellectual Property Examples & Explanations (The Examples & Explanations Series) (Paperback)
Book by Stephen M. McJohn
Reviewer - Domo Kun: This book has pretty good coverage of topics: Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks, Trade Secrets. The information is pretty complete, but could be organized better. My main complaint is that there is no table of case law. This is a pretty serious ommission from a law book. No table of statutes, either. And the index is pretty sucky too - no entries for "cybersquatting", "GATT", "Licensing", "genericide" - I won't go on, but I could.

Book by Arthur Raphael Miller, Michael H. Davis
It has been said, with respect to tort law that anyone can recognize a punch in the nose.

This text, by famed Harvard professor Arthur Miller, includes patents, trademarks, and copyrights.
