It has been said, with respect to tort law that anyone can recognize a punch in the nose. Unlike a punch in the nose, "Patents and copyrights approach, nearer than any other class of cases belonging to forensic discussion to what may be called the metaphysics of the law, where the distinctions are, or at least may be, very subtle and refined, and, sometimes, almost evanescent." This text, by famed Harvard professor Arthur Miller, includes patents, trademarks, and copyrights. Further, it addresses torts and property; antitrust and government regulation; concepts of federalism and state and federal conflicts. The text provides the scope and highlights you need to excel in understanding this field. This will enable you to answer exam questions more quickly and accurately, and enhance your skills as an attorney.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good book, but now out of date,
By A Customer
This review is from: Intellectual Property: Patents, Trademarks and Copyright in a Nutshell (Nutshell Series) (Paperback)
Much has changed since 1990, particularly in patent law, with the advent of the provisional patent application. Still useful, but many details will be incorrect.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The third edition is up to date--It is super!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Intellectual Property: Patents, Trademarks, and Copyright (Nutshell Series) (Paperback)
I don't know whether or why the 2d edition would be on sale, as the first reviewer implies in his or her nevertheless good review. The third edition has been out for two years and it is complete, accessible, understandable, and better than the competition--by far! If you want to understand patents, copyrights, trademarks, this book will make you an expert in an afternoon.

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent nutshell,
This review is from: Intellectual Property-Patents, Trademarks And Copyright in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (West Publishing)) (Paperback)
This nutshell is great, I learned more out of it than I did in my patent law class. I wish I had read it before I took the class, that way I'd have a better understanding of it, it explains the confusing concepts really well. It was a life-saver on the final exam, and I'm going to use it for my trademark law class next semester as well!!
