This book clearly explains the fundamentals of patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, mask work, and unfair competition laws as they apply to the scientific and engineering community. This is the book to read before consulting a lawyer; it offers — free of confusing legal jargon — valuable and easy-to-access legal information on a variety of professional concerns, including: Maintaining confidentiality in new employment contracts; obtaining software protection; applying for patents, trademarks, or copyrights; entering into contracts and employment agreements; strategic use and management of intellectual property; the entrepreneurial use of intellectual property; protection for domain names; and more. Recommended.

From the Preface: “...[T]he material in this book pertains to protection afforded by the law to ideas, creations and inventions of engineers, scientists and others covered by the umbrella term ‘technology professionals.’ With technological advancements moving forward today at what appears to be an exponential rate, the need to transform intangible novel ideas into tangible, protectable assets has increased...By no means is this text intended to transform you into an intellectual property attorney, or to do the work of one. The purpose is to provide you with knowledge of a very arcane, but important, adjunct to the technology professions, that of the protection of the technology you develop, and the steps necessary to prevent stepping on the intellectual property `toes' of others...”

Target Audience: Engineers, scientists, and all other high-tech professionals in need of guidance on intellectual property law.
