Good for unfair competition--not so for intellectual property,
By
This review is from: Intellectual Property and Unfair Competition in a Nutshell: Intellectual Property (Nutshell Series) (Paperback)
I purchased this one after a brief flip-through, thinking it presented a good overview of intellectual property law woven through a framework of unfair competition law.
That's not the right way to describe this book. It's really a nutshell about unfair competition law (the foreword reveals that the book used to be called "Unfair Trade Practices in a Nutshell"). Intellectual property law is discussed, but only inasmuch as it relates to unfair competition law. Lots of IP is left out--the section about patents, for instance, says very little about best mode, statutory bar, and other basic concepts, other than defining them in a sentence or two. While this is still a useful guide for business lawyers and law students, the title is very misleading. If you want a decent guide to IP, get the other nutshell on intellectual property.
