When students need extra help with patent law, you can recommend this succinct, single-volume text with confidence. "Introduction to Patent Law, Second Edition", explores and explains the most recent cases and developments as it demystifies the basics of the field. Suitable for use with any patent casebook, this paperback text: clarifies the principal legal doctrines, key judicial authority, governing statutes, and guiding policy considerations in obtaining and enforcing a U.S. patent; addresses central aspects of international patent law as they affect U.S. practice in the final chapter; is written at an appropriate level for students with or without technical backgrounds; highlights patent law terms of art in boldface type and defines them in a glossary for quick reference; and includes helpful visual aids, as well as a sample patent. The Second Edition features enhanced coverage of: patent prosecution procedures; patent claim interpretation approaches; double patenting; anticipation; the patent/antitrust interface; and the pending Patent Reform Act of 2005. The updated text reflects recent significant case law developments, such as: Symbol Technologies on prosecution history laches; Phillips on patent claim interpretation; Festo III on prosecution history estoppel criteria; Knorr-Bremse on willful infringement; Merck KgaA on experimental use; Eolas on component exports; Honeywell on prosecution history estoppel; Novo Industries on correction of claim errors; National Steel Car on temporary presence defense; NTP on 'beneficial use' in the U.S.; Chiron on enablement of 'nascent' technology; University of Rochester on the written description requirement; Klopfenstein on 'printed publication' prior art; Schering on anticipation by inherency; Independent Ink on patent tying and market power; and Unitherm on Walker Process antitrust claims.

Summary: Great patent law primer
Comment: As an engineer who is interested in taking the patent bar exam, I needed a reference that would provide the essentials of patent law in a concise format. This book certainly meets that requirement.
Initially I found the text difficult, but the further I read, the more comfortable I became with the legal terms and concepts. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who desires a quick "leg up" into the field of patent law.

Summary: Easy to understand introduction to patent law
Comment: I picked up this book to study for the patent bar exam. I've yet to take the exam so I can't say if this book is appropriate study material, but I can say that it is very well written, concise and easy to understand. It gives a detailed introduction into patent law without becoming too convoluted. Although it looks like a law textbook, it's actually quite enjoyable to read. The author provides excellent examples, from actual court cases, to all points of patent law and the patent process. The glossary at the end is very useful for someone without a background in law, like me. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about patent law.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great prep for the patent bar!
Comment: This book is great for preparing for the patent bar. As a scientist (physics background) wanting to take the patent bar, I found this book clear, logical, and easy to read. I was hesitant on buying it for studying for the patent bar after reading some of the reviews. However, I passed the patent bar on my first attempt using only this book and the bullseye prep review notes.

Summary: Great introductory book on patent law for scientific professionals
Comment: Although intended for law school students, this title can be very useful for scientific professionals who frequently encounter patent-related issues in today's industrial R&D world. Particularly I find its great value for researchers in the fields of chemistry, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry.
The best feature of the book is that the author successfully breaks down the often abstract and difficult statutes, laws and prosecution into easily understandable texts. She is so good at using specific cases and examples to explain important points that a chemist/biochemist like me can read the book without much difficulty or inconvenience. It has a list of discussed cases where you can find familiar names such as: Amgen, Baker Hughes, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Genentech, Dow, Eli Lilly, Gen-Probe, Merck, Perkin-Elmer, Pharmacia, etc.
As a textbook in law school, it covers some patent (law) history and its societal impacts which may not be interesting for some practical purposes. It is certainly not a patent examiner's handbook or MPEP, nor is it a preparation book for patent bar exam.
If a chemist wants to quickly grasp some background without reading this 400-page book, I recommend the excellent materials provided by American Chemical Society to its members through its website.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very Good Intro
Comment: This is a very good intro to patent law. It covers the essentials of 35 USC 101, 102, 103, 112 with clear language and essential case histories. It's not enough to pass the patent bar, but it's an excellent place to get an overview and foundation before going on to more detailed patent bar study materials. It's also good for reviewing concepts for practicing patent professionals. It is focussed mainly on the law, meaning it does not cover many of the administrative issues related to prosecuting patents, but it covers the law well and clearly.
