Patent Strategy for Researchers and Research Managers [ハードカバー]

Patent Strategy introduces researchers to patent applications and patent portfolios. With minimum use of ‘legal jargon’ it provides the technical professional with the assistance and advice they require to understand the legal complexities that they may encounter before and during a patent application. It also discusses the responsibilities of the researcher after patent applications have been filed and the role the researcher can play in the maintenance of a global patent estate.

This updated edition of the best selling book has been expanded to keep pace with modern day movements and addresses the global issue surrounding intellectual property. Including new information on areas such as software and biotechnology it shows the techniques that can be used by individuals and academic inventors to protect their work and is the ideal reference source.

• Bridges the gap between the legal system and scientific research and avoids legal jargon
• Details the reasons behind patents, their importance and relevance to all researchers and the strategy needed for filing for a patent
• Focuses on the strategy and reasons rather than just being a textbook of patent law
• Presents an overview of tools a researcher can use while working with a patent attorney or agent
• Adopts a readable style that explains the basics right up to developing a strategy
• Essential reading for all those who wish to keep pace and protect their work

Over the last five years intellectual property has taken centre stage around the world as countries realise the value of having a consistent and enforceable patent business. The increase in patent activity has resulted in a number of new laws being created. To reflect these changes this Second Edition of Patent Strategy has been reorganised and completely update. Additional material includes:

• an overview of the major changes in patent laws
• a new chapter on infringement and freedom to operate
• further concepts on the value of patents
• new strategy techniques

Reviews of the First Edition
"...fulfills a most useful purpose, is soundly based and discusses patent strategy sensibly. I should like it to be compulsory reading for all newly-appointed research managers." Research Policy
"...should be recommended reading for both researchers and their managers, and those who work with them." Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology
