Has your company ever been in the highly undesirable situation in which a product is complete, a marketing plan developed, packaging selected and a launch slated, only to have an unknown patent destroy the whole effort? Patent Peace of Mind starts from the most fundamental aspects by defining patent and inventor and then defines what is patentable. Patent Peace of Mind is an easy-to-read reference on patents that covers topics including:

  • What is a patent?
  • Claims
  • Inventorship
  • The patent application process
  • Patent disputes
  • Patent litigation
  • International patent protection

Publishers Note: This book is to be used as a learning tool and is not intended to replace advice from a competent legal professional.

Expert Review

"Patent Peace of Mind is a must-read for all chemists, whether they work in ingredients or finished goods. The authors take the 'legalese' out of the very complex subject of patents and explain it in easy-to-understand terms. The use of actual patent examples makes this easy-to-read, too. If I had this book while working as an expert witness in patent cases throughout the years, I would have understood a lot more!"
