This book informs engineering and science students and professionals about the intellectual property laws that are important in their careers. Now in its second edition, Intellectual Property Law for Engineers and Scientists covers all of the major areas of intellectual property development and protection in non-legalistic terms that are understandable to technology and science professionals. New material includes a comprehensive discussion on the American Invents Act (AIA), coverage of many new high-profile cases, such as the mobile communications industry, and a new chapter on “The Future of Technology, Engineering, and Intellectual Property”. To date, no other text explains the full range of intellectual property law and procedure to engineering and science professionals.
