From Library Journal
Despite occasional lapses into legal speak (e.g., "antecedent basis," "licensed for valuable consideration"), patent attorney and author Battle's (Smart Maneuvers, LJ 12/94) new work reads easily and well. Geared toward the businessperson and individual inventor, this overview takes the reader from inception to patent drafting, follows an application through the Patent Office, shows how to select legal representation if needed, and concludes with information on infringement procedures, foreign protection options, and licensing and marketing an invention. Because some areas may be covered a bit too briefly, readers will still need to refer to more detailed self-help publications like David Pressman's Patent It Yourself (Nolo, 1997) for in-depth guidance. Nevertheless, this book answers the kinds of questions its intended audience is asking. It also includes forms, checklists, cost-saving suggestions, and a strong focus on commercializing a new product. Recommended for all collections serving the inventor community.?Johanna Johnson, Dallas
