Licensing Intellectual Property: Law & Application is the most popular textbook for teaching the legal underpinnings and the skills of intellectual property licensing, which is one of the core areas of law practice for business and intellectual property lawyers. This book covers:

  • Licensing 
  • Transactions for inventions and creative works 
  • Contract drafting 
  • Intellectual property 

Intellectual property is among the most important and interesting areas of law, thanks to its close link to the technological innovation sweeping society. But it is not enough to simply own patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets—inventors and creators need to put these intellectual property assets to productive use. Licensing is the most important way to do that. Licensing Intellectual Property: Law and Application provides students of varied backgrounds with an understanding of the legal principles and licensing models available to help clients accomplish their business objectives. This book is for courses focusing on the law of licensing and the application of licensing in practice. In particular, the book’s extensive drafting and client counseling exercises provide students the opportunity to develop their skills.
