| Short description
Written to provide engineers and scientists with a coherent book on how to protect their inventions and creations, Intellectual Property Law for Engineers and Scientists provides readers with a solid foundation to help them know when and why it's necessary to seek advice before valuable rights are lost or the rights of others are infringed. Coverage includes employment contracts, including the ability of engineers to take confidential and secret knowledge to a new job; shop rights; and information to help entrepreneurs establish a non-conflicting enterprise when leaving their prior employment.
