      abstract = {The explosion in intellectual capital coincides with a  growing understanding of the importance of human capital to  the firm. Managing the Legal Nexus Between Intellectual  Property and Employees: Domestic and Global Contexts  highlights some of the most critical contemporary issues  occurring at the intersection of intellectual property law,  employment law, and global trade.  In addition to the legal  dimensions, the book tackles issues of strategy and  decision-making for businesses. The contributors discuss  the use of employment contracts to protect intellectual  property, ownership of intellectual property created by  employees, officer liability issues relating to  infringement, post-employment confidentiality and  non-compete agreements, and inadvertent or deliberate  misappropriation of trade secrets.  The discussion of key  topics in intellectual property law in the US and abroad  makes this a valuable resource for both academics and  practitioners worldwide. Business managers, government  employees, and intellectual property owners will appreciate  its timely and cutting-edge analysis.},
