5.0 out of 5 stars Patents = Shareholder Value....and How to Make it Happen !!, May 12, 2004

By A Customer

Patents = shareholder value. This is the equation that drives this book. For the first time, this book describes the specifics of how to work patent-sensitive technology deals in the new patent environment. This book is the much anticipated sequel to the classic books by the same author--'Patent Strategies for Business', which invented the field of Intellectual Property Asset Management, and 'E-Patent Strategies'.

Numerous real-life case studies are included. Other sections include the new directors' and officers' strategies for technology deals, patent litigation as a business tool, demand letters as a deal, the new software and business method patents, patent inventory-audits to mine the gold in your business plan, stock price and other metrics for successful innovation, portfolio theory applied to patent litigation, patent due diligence in mergers and acquisitions [how to buy more value for less money], the rules of virtual genius updated for software and business method patents, the four stages of patent denial in the software business, invention inventory-audits [start with the business plan, not the technology], building the investment grade patent portfolio, monetizing intellectual property, X-treme rush patent procedures, finding the new property in the new economy, due diligence as industrial espionage, Internet-ification patents, benchmarks and best practices for patent development, and valuable new legal developments.

After working with the author you find that he has even more new developments that have not made it into his books yet. Clearly, his daily practice is keeping him on the inventive cutting edge of the specific gambits of his dynamic field.

1.0 out of 5 stars The author also invented TIME TRAVEL, June 1, 2006

By	D. Fritsch (Chesapeake, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Technology Deals, Case Studies for Officers, Directors, Investors, and General Counsels about IPO's, Mergers, Acquisitions, Venture Capital, Licensing, ... Due Diligence and Patent Strategies (Paperback)

Yes, it's true!!!! If you look at the back cover of the book it references the two glowing Amazon reviews that were written after the book was published. Which came first the book or the reviews? If you think too much about it (I didn't), it is sort of like looking into two mirrors that are facing each other. My review has as much credibility as the two previous. I look forward to seeing this review on the back of the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars WORTH A FORTUNE !!!, April 20, 2004

By A Customer

If Glazier, the author, is not on your Board of Directors already, he should be. This guy is worth a fortune.
