What to do when license is in hand,
By
This review is from: License Your Invention: Take Your Great Idea to Market with a Solid Legal Agreement with 3.5 Disk (Profit from Your Idea: How to Make Smart Licensing Deals) (Paperback)
This book is heavy on the legal information (it's from Nolo Press) but light on what to do to get an invention licensed. Has good legal advice which would be a use to any invcentor who has a deal ready to go, but not much help on evaluating the proct for license or how to get a licenseing deal to come about. Would recommend this book only for those who have already made prototypes, contacted licensees, and are ready to start writing contracts - then get this useful book.

Everything you need to know about the licensing process,

This review is from: License Your Invention: Take Your Great Idea to Market with a Solid Legal Agreement with 3.5 Disk (Profit from Your Idea: How to Make Smart Licensing Deals) (Paperback)
"Take Your Great Idea to Market With a Solid Legal Agreement" promises this new book. The promise is fulfilled with plenty of solid details about the licensing process. This is not about venturing or bringing your own invention to market, but about protecting your property rights while licensing the invention. This would include inventors who work for companies that may want to license their work.

This review is from: License Your Invention: Take Your Great Idea to Market with a Solid Legal Agreement with 3.5 Disk (Profit from Your Idea: How to Make Smart Licensing Deals) (Paperback)
I felt that this book provided a firm clear basis to write a contract to license your invention. I have to agree that it did little but rehash the usual ways of marketing your invention. Perhaps the book should have be titled: Write a good contract for licensing your invention. I thought this book took you nicely through each step in the licensing process explain your legal rights and the legal rights of others in detail. I enjoyed the book and thought it was easy to read despite covering alot of legalese.
