Patent Litigation Primer: A Guide For Inventors And Business Owners Paperback – December 4, 2015

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 15 ratings

Patent litigation can be a dizzying maze for the uninitiated. The substantive law, procedures, lingo, and various quirks inherent in this type of lawsuit can appear extremely complex—even mysterious—for those not intimately familiar with the process.

But have no fear. In Patent Litigation Primer, author Robert A. Klinck helps to demystify the patent lawsuit procedure for the inventors, business owners, investors, and other participants who might be new to the game.

This eye-opening book is designed to provide readers with a working knowledge of the relevant, essential issues by breaking them down into informative yet accessible sections. Divided into five parts that provide material on basic framework, fundamental legal issues, the litigation process, mechanisms for obtaining patent office review, and frequently asked questions, Patent Litigation Primer proves itself equally useful and readable for lawyers and laypeople.

Providing an educational yet reasonable overview of this difficult subject matter, Klinck offers an essential resource for anyone interested in developing a basic understanding of patent litigation.

Being an author of several patents; it is important to understand the end-game when developing an intellectual property strategy. In the ever-moving landscape of IP litigation it has been hard for many technical innovators to keep up with the current trends and rulings and issues that arise. IP should always be treated as a defensive strategy and not the result of your innovative efforts. But deciding the breadth and depth of your patent approach requires a thorough understanding of litigation and the litigation process and players.

This primer delivers just what you need. It explains the who, the what, the why of the litigation process with realistic approaches and guidelines to help any innovator with navigating through an evolving system. One of the most importance areas is a discussion on claims of how your claims are laid out to build a strategy for protection. As without a proper claim chart that builds from a solid foundation your patent will be hard and expensive to protect. I also like all the definitions on how the system works or in many cases doesn't work.

After spending two years practicing patent litigation straight out of law school, I can't help but think about how much easier that transition would have been with this primer at my side. Having not taken a single patent law class throughout law school, I spent my evenings in the law library trying to get up to speed. Of all the books that I tore through during these months, nothing came as close to the explaining the nuanced and, at times, bizarre nature of the patent litigation process as this Primer. The Primer takes a clear and practical approach to explaining what can be very difficult and alien principles. I strongly recommend this Primer for law students, new attorneys entering the IP field, and entrepreneurs trying to maneuver around the complexities of IP.

This primer provides clear and concise information on the nuanced procedures of US patent litigation. The author's fluid writing style and the book's organization make it a very digestible read for lawyers and non-lawyers. Highly recommended for other attorneys and technology executives interested in a strong grasp of main issues at play in this very central area for any modern technology company.

Very basic. The information could be gleaned by reading a few Wikipedia articles, etc. There is also a lot of padding and repetition. You can read this book in under an hour if you skim through the repetitious stuff.
