Patents and How to Get One: A Practical Handbook

ASIN: 0471442178

Book Description

A simple, straightforward guide to the ins and outs of the modern patent process

In the information age, intellectual property is often as valuable as-- if not more valuable than-- any physical asset a company or an entrepreneur can possess. But protecting your intellectual property is vitally important to your future success, no matter how brilliant your idea.

Large businesses and corporations typically have their own patent attorneys to deal with intellectual property issues-- a luxury most small businesses and entrepreneurs can't afford. If you have intellectual property to protect, but you lack the resources of a major company, then The Patent Process is for you. Written for individuals, entrepreneurs, and small companies, it provides readers with a solid introduction to patents and other forms of intellectual property, without becoming exhaustive and overly complicated. It clearly and concisely explains the things you need to know to understand the patent process and make it work for you. It features an overview of the history and the primary issues in intellectual property, as well as a section that answers common questions about the patent process. Illustrative case studies are included to highlight important issues, such as:

Patents, copyrights, and trademarks-- what they are, what they do, and which one you need to protect your intellectual property
The application process for patents, trademarks, and copyrights
Foreign patents-- protecting your intellectual property abroad
The financing, licensing, and sale of patents
Trade secrets and how they differ from patents

Creators of intellectual property want to focus on what they do best-- create and innovate -- rather than deal with the technicalities of patents and copyrights. The Patent Process offers an in-depth treatment of the core issues in intellectual property designed to help individuals protect their ideas and navigate the system to best effect.

Patents for entrepreneurs.......2002-04-08

One of the wonderful features of this book is in how it shows readers that it's the simple things they come up with, usually based on their own experience or expertise, that can be turned into the greatest success with a patent. You don't need to be a rocket scientist, just a guy like me who comes up with a better way to do something. The case studies were particularly helpful, ranging from profiles of a dot-com company with business method patents to a barbecue joint that has a sauce as a trade secret. I never thought I'd see a book written by a college professor that's actually interesting to read.

Worth reading even if you don't need a patent!.......2002-03-23

Who knew patents and intellectual property could be so interesting to read about? The examples of patents in here, like the method for preserving the dead, are a blast - and really serve to teach you something. You'll love the case studies, too. For those seeking patents, trademarks, trade secrets, or copyrights, what you need to know is laid right out. Other books on these subjects put you to sleep, this one is cool!

Description:
International progress in the application of Information Technology (IT) and standards to process and disseminate patent information over the past 25 years is presented. Much of this progress has mirrored wider changes, such as the advent and use of online, CD-ROM, and the Internet.The major international patent information dissemination milestones are discussed, as well as current international dissemination issues, including the substantial influence of the Trilateral agreements in these areas, between the EPO, USPTO and JPO. Finally, a possible future international vision for dissemination is presented: despite the anticipated improvements, such as reduction of cost and greater capacity, the author expects that support and training from patent offices will continue to be a key element in patent information dissemination.

Hollywood Stars!.......2002-10-13

In the hectic public relations business you do not get the opportunity to settle down and relax. I started reading this book and could not put it down. The history and human touches made each recipe uniquely special. I have cooked them and believe me my family is raving about each meal. I was never known for my cooking, but now I am the cook with the book that is making everyone pay me a compliment. When Hollywood stars come to town on a Public Relations tour, I hand them this book so they too can enjoy the local flavors of the Italian Market. They love it. Now everyone can be a Hollywood star with this book. It really is tops!

Love Italian Style!.......2002-10-12

This book has it all. Good Taste and a hearty insight into the history of a place and it's people. It is both real and wonderful. It captures that eating is a passion and how it makes life more flavorful. The Italian Market comes alive with an aroma of excitement and the recipes recall a time when I was young and Grandmom made foods that filled my tummy and warmed my heart. I am a native to the area and enjoyed reading the book and trying out some of the unique family Italian comfort foods. The bood took me on a tour that is a recipe for success. Celeste Marello gives us so much here. VIVA AMORE!

Bada Bing!!.......2002-09-04

If you're Italian-American (or, like me, just wish you were) and love your local Little Italy, you'll enjoy this romp through the taste buds of my favorite neighborhood in my favorite city. Ms. Morello proves that Italian-American cooking is more than just a race through red sauce. The recipes are easy to follow (they have to be, considering they're made for the busy families of the local merchants) and tasty. When you're finished reading this book, you'll have a better appreciation of how food can bind a community together AND you'll want to dash to the kitchen to start cooking.

An excellent book for the new investor.......1999-11-08

This book is tremendous! It is a very easy read and provides great insight into investing in the stock market. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in the stock market but does not have a lot of stock picking experience.

An excellent book for beginners.......1999-01-07

This was my first "stock" book I bought. I was not disappointed. The book gave me some excellent suggestions on how to pick stocks. Author stressed on doing fundamental analyses before choosing any stock. The language and format of the book is very user friendly. I, however, dont agree with the rapid screening method given in the book. I tried to apply that method to more than a dozen stocks ranked by Zack's at #1, But the method rejected them all!. Either the Zack's are not doing good job or there is something wrong with the method. Overall the book is an excellent resource for beginners and intermediate investors.

Excellent book.......1998-10-28

A book that contains excellent research information. I particularly liked the short cut method for screening stocks. Written in an easy-to-follow style. A must have for beginners and intermediate investors, especially those who have little stomach for sifting through a lot of research material.

Book Description

How do you lead the launch of a product you know will be extremely controversial?

What should you do if a single parent on your staff is falling behind in his or her work?

How should you respond if you are offered an opportunity at work solely because of your race or gender?

This is a book about work choices and life choices, and the critical points-or defining moments-at which the two become one. A refreshing antidote to traditional feel-good, inspirational business ethics, it examines the right-versus-right conflicts that every business manager faces and presents an unorthodox yet practical way for you to think about and resolve them.

When making hard professional decisions, managers often use personal values as a touchstone. Badaracco asserts, however, that resolving such dilemmas is not as simple as the "do the right thing" school of ethics would have you believe. Defining Moments reveals an alternative approach that will help you tackle the more complex and troubling question of what to do when doing the right thing requires doing something else wrong, or leaving another right thing undone.

Drawing on philosophy, literature, and three case studies that reveal the increasing complexity today's managers face as their careers advance, Defining Moments provides tangible examples, actionable steps, and a flexible framework that you can use to make the choices that will shape not only your career, but your character.

Compelling, readable, and absent of ethical jargon, this book gets to the core of what makes being a manager so difficult. For new and seasoned managers alike, Defining Moments explores what it means-and whether it's even possible-to be a successful manager and a thoughtful, responsible human being.

Defining Moments: When Manager Must Choose Between Right and Right.......2007-01-04

When managers are making choices, we typically evaluate them by attempting to determine which choice is right and which is not. Many times both choices are "right" choices which makes the decision more difficult and more frustrating for managers.

Badaracco provides excellent examples of real life situations where managers had to choose between "right" and "right" in making a decision. The decision making process used by each manager in the examples was assessed from the philosophical prospectives of three prominant philosophers, Aristotle, Nietzsche, and Machiavelli.

A great read with valuable advice for everyone, not just managers.

Thought Provoking Book.......2005-09-30

The introductory chapters to this book were very good and gave me some good insights. The ending was quite weak and the author didn't have a definite direction in the book. However, I still consider it an interesting read and enjoyed some of his perspectives about ethics.

Required Reading.......2003-03-12

Great choice for any manager or business administration student.

Tackling the Dilemmas of Ethical Choices.......2001-06-18

A few weeks ago a customer of mine asked my assistance to help his organisation to write an ethical code. I knew he had been "working" on this topic for the last 2 years and that he had been applying some of the principles I teach in my emotional intelligence classes. Apparently, this hadn't been enough to solve his problem, but it was enough to come back to me to seek my advice. This was one of the books I bought to document myself on the issue.

This book was a good resource by providing me different points of views concerning the question, and by pointing out that it's not a simple matter of making a choice (for instance, one lead by intuition and emotions, as is recommended sometimes). The cases presented point to several kinds of dilemmas: the personal ones (choosing between what's right for you and for the organisation), the managerial ones (choosing between the organisation and the people that ore working for it) and the social ones (choosing between the organisation and the larger social system it's a part of). The book also points out different sources we have for basing our decisions on.

The problem remains that values and principles often point into different directions. Ethical choice techniques such as the "sleep-test", the "golden rule" and other sources of inspiration do not solve this.

Learning from that, it becomes clear why one should not expect to find the answers to your ethical problems in this book. Finding "the" answer is "impossible". In a "defining moment", you will have to examine which values you are committed to, these values will be put to test (will you go for their implications) and they will shape your future. I believe (with the author) that there are no easy answers to the *real* issues we are faced with. That's why this book shows in what way you have to search for your answer. Reading this book will at least allow you to ask the right questions and to look at various aspects in order to make a personal choice.

If I would have read this book earlier, my own book would certainly have included a reference to it.

What will I tell my customer? Well, writing the "code" won't be enough, in stead we should focus on teaching people how to make an ethical choice.

Patrick E.C. Merlevede, M.Sc is the main author of "7 Steps to Emotional Intelligence"

Excellent Book on Ethics (for everyone).......2001-05-08

While this book may seem catered towards business management issues (and the examples given in the text are), the ideas, values and approaches presented within the text are universal. I, myself, am not a "business person" or "manager" and found this book extremely enlightening and helpful, and can apply the values and examples to my own life and work.

The basic premise of the book revolves around (what Badaracco calls) the "defining moments" of an individual's life; these are instances in which a person is faced with a decision that has no clear "right vs. wrong" answer (which he calls a "right vs. right" question), yet the decision the individual makes will define who the person is in times that follow. He uses three different examples of real-life quandaries that managers have faced in the past (as well as their conclusions). Badaracco does not tell his audience how they should act in a given situation, but instead, gives the audience the introspective tools needed to make better decisions that support who they are as an individual.

Book Description

Provides the reader with a unique decision-making tool by showing how ethics play an integral part of all business decisions. It offers excellent advice on how to apply ethics in all of your everyday decisions whether they be large or small. Features an illustrative case study of one company's decision making process and the ethical considerations behind their choices. Contains business suggestions for integrating ethics into everyday management--from establishing a corporate code to implementing an in-house ethics training program.

Manufacturer: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Paperback
ASIN: B000QH7C1C

Product Description

Many books are talking about the need to make the business world a more ethical place. The problem is they just don't reflect the way business decisions are actually made, but instead provide executives and managers with conveniently compartmentalized advice on how to act and react in given situations when ethics come prominently into play. This book offers an extended case history involving a fictional mid-sized manufacturer that's facing a tough ethical dilemma. Driven by dialogue that highlights the realistic exchange of ideas, values, and economic imperatives, the unfolding story helps you gain a clearer understanding of how to: 1) identify ethical dilemmas when ethics become obscured by economic, political, personal, and other considerations. 2) use various models to provide a useful framework for debating the conflicting claims inherent in business proposals. 3) develop a structured approach for arriving at decisions your company can live with - an approach that reflects the give and take of the real world.

Book Description

Since his debut on the Irish theater scene with The Factory Girls (1982), Frank McGuinness has been his generation's most prolific and significant playwright, earning applause and awards throughout the English-speaking world (and beyond) for such plays as Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme (1984) and Someone Who'll Watch Over Me (1994). Contexts for Frank McGuinness's Drama is the most complete consideration of the playwright yet published, including discussion of his original stage work through Gates of Gold (2002) and highlighting the connections between McGuinness's creativity and the biographical, geographical, social, and literary factors that have shaped his world.

The study makes extensive use of the largely unexamined collection of primary materials McGuinness has deposited in the University College Dublin library. It also draws heavily on extended interviews with the playwright and with directors and actors who have worked with him. A thorough examination of contemporary reviews and production histories completes the complex background against which both texts and productions are examined.
