I've listened to about 10 audio CD's for law school courses. Either the speaker is absolutely dry as hell (to the point where the CD's should be outlawed in the car for risk of falling asleep at the wheel) or the material covered is extremely sparse, out of date, or outright wrong. This is one of the best. Covers the most important topics, is presented logically, he goes into some intersting cases. The best is that the CD's are very well indexed, so you can easily jump to a section. (Unlike other CD's which are one friggin track, so you have to listen to the whole CD straight through.)

Good coverage of IP basics - good for listening to before & after studying. Would be better if there was an updated edition - this one came out in 2000 - especially since the America Invents Act was passed in Sept 2011. But gives a good foundation of essential principles and major cases.

A great way to prepare for your exam! Relevant information in a concise format.
