      abstract = {In a world in which businesses thrive on innovation, it is  more important than ever to understand the sometimes arcane  rules through which human ingenuity becomes intellectual  property. Although many reference works on patent law  exist, they are written for specialists. Through clear  writing, specific examples, and focus on the fundamentals,  Patent Law Essentials: A Concise Guide makes the basic  rules of patent law accessible to businesspeople,  engineers, students, and others who need to understand the  rules of a notoriously complicated game. Patent Law  Essentials begins with an overview of patent law and other  aspects of intellectual property and then guides the reader  through an example of an actual patent--one literally  claiming "a better mousetrap." The chapters that follow  discuss the types of inventions that can be patented  (recently a subject of much dispute), the process of  applying for a patent, the requirements of a valid patent,  and the procedures for determining if a patent has been  infringed upon. The appendix includes several examples of  actual U.S. patents, including the mousetrap patent  discussed in detail in the early chapters.},
