"This product provides a succinct description of the fundamentals of U.S. patent law. Ranging from the acquisition of patent rights to their enforcement, it contains an overview of relevant statutes, rules, and cases that collectively define this area of intellectual property law, which has evolved quickly in the past few years. Topics include claim construction, obviousness, anticipation, written description and enablement, infringement, remedies, and other notable doctrines. This reference is suitable for use by those with a beginner's knowledge of patent law, but it has sufficient depth to be instructive for every practitioner."--Publisher's website.
