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. 000040747 650_0 $$aPatent laws and legislation$$xUnited States 000040747 650_0 $$aLaw$$xIntellectual Property$$xCopyright 000040747 650_0 $$aLaw$$xIntellectual Property$$xPatent 000040747 650_0 $$aLaw$$xIntellectual Property$$xTrademark 000040747 655_4 $$aElectronic books 000040747 7102_ $$aABC-CLIO, LLC 000040747 7972_ $$aProQuest (Firm) 000040747 85640 $$uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/wipo/detail.action?docID=5219317$$zView this Ebook 000040747 904__ $$aBook 000040747 942__ $$2ddc$$cEBOOK 000040747 980__ $$aBIB 000040747 980__ $$aOS
