4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for a textbook, May 15, 2008

This review is from: Intellectual Property in New Technological Age (Hardcover)

I read this for an IP survey course in law school. The cases were well edited and the comments were relevant. The authors don't hide the ball. This is one of the few textbooks that I will probably not sell.
