Protecting Your Company's Intellectual Property: A Practical Guide to Trademarks, Copyrights, Patents & Trade Secrets
The boom in technology-based industries has created enormous  growth in the field of intellectual property. The purpose of  this book is to help companies understand what their  intellectual property is and how to protect it. Attorney  Bouchoux discusses trademarks, patents, copyrights, and trade  secrets. She explains how rights arise under each, what can be  protected, and what procedures need to be undertaken to ensure  protection. Emerging issues, such as how to obtain and protect  domain names, protecting web site content from infringement,  electronic publishing, downloading music from the Internet, and  protection of multimedia works, are all covered in light of  business trends and the current state of the law. A chapter on  internal audits will help readers conduct an inventory of their  intellectual property assets. Bouchoux presents the information  succinctly and with a clear understanding of the practical  problems encountered by those managing intellectual property.  Highly recommended.
