A 'must' for any public, art or business library
Whether you're involved in business, the arts, or multimedia productions, you have to consult FAIR USE, FREE USE AND USE BY PERMISSION: HOW TO HANDLE COPYRIGHTS IN ALL MEDIA. Where other books narrow the focus to copyright protection in the Internet era, FAIR USE discusses different types of copyright issues, from how to verify what copyright law 'fair' use falls under to gaining permissions, negotiating licenses, securing releases, and more. Chapters even delve into how to locate copyright holders, how to request permissions, and how to understand copyright status of a work. Far more comprehensive than competitors on the topic, this is a 'must' for any public, art or business library.

Competia Online Magazine Review
Essentials of Patents is an insightful guide for business professionals who seek to have a better understanding of patents for strategic intelligence purposes. The book provides readers with the basics behind the nature of patents, the importance of patents when it comes to measuring corporate wealth, and a straightforward approach to establishing a Patent Quality Management (PQM) system. Great initiation into the world of patent mgmt. & strategy!
As an IT professional, I have depended solely on Essentials of Patents to quickly become a valued member of my company's Patent Strategy team.Andy Gibb provides all of the angles and influencing factors for newcomers to this field.A must read for those traditionally considered outside of the circle of patent management - IT, HR, Manufacturing, etc.

Thank You DeMatteis and Gibbs...for Essentials...
DeMatteis and Gibbs have so greatly contributed to the world of Invention and Patenting in sucha multitude of ways and continue to do so by sharing their research,experience,knowledge and expertise with their readers in thebrilliantly writtenand much needed "Essentials". This book is worth its weight in gold to say the very least. "Essentials" is virtually bursting with valuable money saving tips. I believe DeMatteis and Gibbs deserve more than a pat on the back for all of the knowledge they have spent years gathering through their own research, hard work and personal expericencesand laying all of it right out on the table forthe benefit of theirreaders.I have the highest respect for DeMatteis and Gibbs for yet another contribution to all of us .....for our benefit...this book is very precise and clearly written and is full of information involving the future, and the future is now!!! I am sure that many will join me in saying Thank you Gentleman, for yet another contribution and for making our lives easier.....I am already looking forward to your next book as are many others here in Northern California... ...

Christopher Pike is not your run-of-the mill intellectual property adviser. Although qualified as a patent and trade mark attorney, his experience in dealing with business management issues comes through very directly when reading this book.

Legal Toolkit
I felt that this book provided a firm clear basis to write a contract to license your invention.I have to agree that it did little but rehash the usual ways of marketing your invention.Perhaps the book should have be titled: Write a good contract for licensing your invention. What to do when license is in hand
This book is heavy on the legal information (it's from Nolo Press) but light on what to do to get an invention licensed.Has good legal advice which would be a use to any invcentor who has a deal ready to go, but notmuch help on evaluating the proct for license or how to get a licenseingdeal to come about.Would recommend this book only for those who havealready made prototypes, contacted licensees, and are ready to startwriting contracts - then get this useful book.

Everything you need to know about the licensing process
"Take Your Great Idea to Market With a Solid Legal Agreement"promises this new book. The promise is fulfilled with plenty of soliddetails about the licensing process. This is not about venturing orbringing your own invention to market, but about protecting your propertyrights while licensing the invention. This would include inventors who workfor companies that may want to license their work. ... Read more

No loss for words...
Neal Bowers made an interesting discovery one day - one of his poems was published under someone else's name. Every writer and plagiarist should read this
I was fascinated by this book, especially since I worked with Bowers in his quest to catch up with his plagiarist, a quest detailed by this book. Although the editor before me published the poem, I was the editor of a small poetry magazine which had printed a plagiarized version of one of Bowers' poems. Both in our brief correspondence and in this book, Bowers' impressed me as a brave soul. Plagiarists, on the other hand, are not the pranksters they imagine themselves to be; they are the cowards of the literary world. "Words for the Taking" is a tale of courage, both in the story it tells of the tracking of a criminal, and in the example it sets of one man believing in his writing. There are many lazy, slack-off writers out there. "Words for the Taking" shows us more than any writing course could that putting effort into and believing in your writing is one of the bravest acts possible.

This book was interesting and inlightning on plagaiarism
I think this book was good and interersting and to me It was a good book.This author is my only uncle and I think he is a great poet/author!!!!!! ... Read more

Copyright is recent
In current high technology, there has arisen the open source movement. One of its motivating chants is that "information wants to be free". But what about copyright, not just of source code, but of writings in general? The distributed nature of the Internet and the ease of exact digital copying has led to an undergoing reexamination of what copyright might mean in our time.Read more
