| Patents for Business |
Henry Heines
| |
With billions of dollars at stake, companies are defending their patents vigorously...The strategic management of patents, and the costs of enforcing and defending them, are becoming critical business functions. In this accessible and practical guide, Henry Heines shows readers how to apply "due diligence" to analyze the costs and benefits of patent management and to navigate through the legal and technical maze. He walks readers through the various ways in which technological advances can be presented as patentable inventions and in which the patents of competitors can be confronted and evaluated. He also offers guidance in managing a portfolio of patents and inventions, regardless of whether they make it to market as products. |
