Editorial Reviews
Review
"The end-of-chapter resources are excellent."
"Students enjoy reading the Trivia boxes, and the Case Illustrations give students exposure to court opinions and pique their interest to read the entire opinion."
"This text has been very popular with instructors and students because the author has done such a good job of covering all of the major topics in IP in a readable, yet thorough, manner. The balance of theoretical and practical is perfect, given the survey nature of the text." --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Good Intro at a Steep Price,
By Milesman (Redwood City, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Intellectual Property: The Law of Trademarks, Copyrights, Patents, and Trade Secrets for the Paralegal (Paperback)
OK, it covers the basics in a fairly easy-to-read format and moves right along. It is a well-designed, reader-friendly book, but a bit repetitive. The same statements appear in the intro, in the middle, and in the end summary of each chapter.
I take off one star simply for cost. No way is this intro-level material worth over 100 bucks. This is a $20 book in gold plating. Another star off for quite a number of spelling errors and other typos and goofs (repeated sentence/para fragment, etc.) that should have been caught in proofreading. Hard to believe these are still being carried along in the THIRD EDITION. These little glitches don't interfere with the usefulness of the book, but given the price, they owe us a PERFECTLY PROOFED text. Everybody else gets it right--why can't this team? And, a working paralegal who made these types of errors could be fired. It's ironic and silly for the book to contain such goofs.

An Excellent Introductory Text on IP Law For Paralegals,
By Reader from Washington, DC/New York "Reader" (Washington, DC/New York) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)
This review is from: Intellectual Property for Paralegals: The Law of Trademarks, Copyrights, Patents, and Trade Secrets (West Legal Studies Series) (Paperback)
I was assigned this book in my introductory Intellectual Property class during my paralegal curriculum, and it provided me with a very thorough grounding.
Most intellectual property law books are written for lawyers, so it was helpful to have a book designed for paralegals. I have recommended it to the Association for Intellectual Property Paralegals (AOIPP), and it is listed on their "IP Books" page at: http://aoipp.org/ip-books/ I would recommend this book as the introductory text for a paralegal who is completely new to IP law, and Richard Stim's "Intellectual Property: Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights" as a more advanced text for paralegals. I would not have understood many sections of the Stim text without having read the Bouchoux text first.

Great book,

This review is from: Intellectual Property for Paralegals: The Law of Trademarks, Copyrights, Patents, and Trade Secrets (West Legal Studies Series) (Paperback)
I got this book when I first started working as a paralegal for a patent attorney. It gave me a great understanding of Intellectual Property. Great to learn the basics, of course there was more to learn on the job.
