Applies to all businesses, but especially consultants
This book is applicable to all businesses and industries, but my review is from the perspective of an IT consultant.In my profession we've all signed a nondosclosure agreement at one time or another, and we frequently make presentations or provide information that discloses trade secrets, or business-sensitive information to clients and potential clients.Read more

A quick read that will help 1L's tremendously.
This book is concise yet thorough giving you enough Law and Econ to do well in your first year courses without overwhelming you in minutia.The examples build on each other and Polinsky does a nice job of tying things together at the end of each chapter.

Good introduction
I noted some time ago, in a review of Thomas Miceli's _Economics of the Law_, that this work is in some ways "orthogonal" to Miceli's. For one thing, Polinsky gives a fuller discussion of the Coase Theorem; for another, Polinsky at least raises the question whether there is some sort of tradeoff between "efficiency" and "equity." (The reader should be warned that neither of these terms means to an economist quite what it means to anyone else; "equity" in particular, as Polinsky himself is careful to explain, does not mean here what it means to a moral philosopher or a legal theorist.) Really Well Written and Priced.
I originally bought Polinsky's book for a Law & Economics class in college and I feel this is a very good text on my favorite subject. One of the strongest aspects of this book is the writing is very accessible. Unlike some of his peers, I feel he writes not to impress or to complicate the subject with difficult machinations. Instead, his writing is directed at teaching you the concepts directly and forthrightly. You do not need to bring your economics decoder ring or your Black's Law dictionary to access the concepts or theories. The one weakness, and it isn't to most people, is that I would have loved to seen more visuals in the book. I am a visual learner and economics so easily lends itself to charts and visuals that I would have loved to see a bit more. Yet, I think Polinsky's writing more than makes up for any criticism such as mine. In fact, don't think of as a criticism, but think of it as a suggestion for his next edition. Read more

Excellent IP overview for managers and investors
This book offers a comprehensive overview of intellectual property issues, suitable for (among others) high-tech executives, entrepreneurs, and investors in early stage companies (all of which describe me).Its coverage includes trademarks (6 chapters, 70 pages), copyrights (5 chapters, 68 pages), patents (4 chapters, 40 pages), and trade secrets (1 chapter, 18 pages), plus chapters on unfair competition, owning IP created by employees and independent contractors, and conducting internal IP audits.I have experience with software copyrights and biotechnology patents; this book is fairly strong on the former, but only briefly mentions the latter.The material on internal IP audits is rather brief (12 pages) but includes a fairly good audit checklist, and an action plan for protecting a company's IP; also, the first chapter should be required reading for managers, since it points out the many places in a business where valuable IP may be found, department by department. Save the money
I found this book very obtuse and thought the author tried to make this subject much more difficult than it really is.Save your money.

Highly Recommended!
In the interests of safety, we'll refrain from quoting this fine book by Deborah E. Bouchoux, a specialist in intellectual property who teamed with AMACOM to create that rarest of volumes: a straightforward book about law that is simple to read (it's a formula she should patent). This comprehensive volume covers the nuts and bolts of U.S. patent and trademark law. It also gives advice on how to protect your intellectual property and avoid infringement, and reports on the latest patent trends in high tech. Of most concern for general business managers, Bouchoux reviews how (and why) to conduct intellectual property audits within your organization. With intellectual property emerging as the new corporate treasure of the knowledge economy, we [...] suggest that research and development managers and executives of every stripe study this volume carefully. Why should your attorney be the only one who understands what you really own?

Cheaper price
I found this outline to be very helpful in understanding the text for business administration.I would definitely recommend purchasing the outline if your professor is using the Business Administration text from Klein, Ramseyer, and Bainbridge.

Plain English
This book helps the average person understand the basics of business law.Highly recommended.

Great book
I am interested in law and this book is very helpful in explaining legal terminology. The book gives easy to follow real life examples and the opprotunity to test my knowledge.

GREAT CLEP AND DANTES PREP
I passed both the CLEP BL1 and Dantes BL2 by studying this resource. My scores on both were 71. You should not need any other materials to supplement, but make sure you know the content well. The tests are quite difficult, especially the Dantes. Buy this book, study for a week or two, and you should be ready to pass both. ... Read more
