This book will be designed to provide an easy-to-read and easy-to-understand primer on patent law, one of the most complex and specialized areas of law. The goal is to provide a practical understanding of patent law to those people who encounter patent-related and IP (Intellectual Property) issues on a repeat (if infrequent) basis. This would be of extreme value to corporate and other attorneys, as well as investors, entrepreneurs and professionals interested in patent law and intellectual property fundamentals, related to biotechnology and the life sciences.
