Product Description
This new edition captures all of the recent and rapidly emerging changes in case law and legislation, yet retains its student- and professor-friendly approach to the policies and rules of patent law. This version teaches the far-reaching legal tenets of patent law that are as venerable as the Constitution itself and yet as current as the latest developments from the laboratory bench. Like its successful predecessor, this casebook draws on insights from other areas of US law and from aspects of foreign systems as well. Because patent law plays a vital role in the international marketplace, students must understand US law in the context of international patent systems to properly represent their clients.

5 out of 5 stars An excellent Patent text   September 6, 2008
Brian D. Abramson

This is as good a Patent Law textbook as can be assembled. The case selection and arrangement is excellent, and the cases are sharply edited. I only wish the next edition had come out in time for it to be assigned for my class - I'm told it will be out in a month.


5 out of 5 stars Fine for Survey Course   December 19, 2005

The previous review suggests that the casebook is not a good choice for someone wanting to focus in greater detail on patent prosecution or litigation. I imagine this is intended for use in a survey course, and think it's fine. It certainly does not teach the MPEP or prepare someone to take the patent bar, but that is not its purpose; I used the PatBar course for that. As far as patent litigation, I won't a course in that until next semester, but I believe this casebook did a nice job in surveying the important principles in litigation.


3 out of 5 stars standard casebook, no real fireworks!   June 7, 2001
5 out of 8 found this review helpful

This casebook contained all the usual cases that are typical in a patent law/intellectual property casebook. Unfortunately, there should have been more content which described the patent process as well as the patent prosecution procedure in order to allow the reader to fit the case law into the appropriate scheme of things.
