The financial and moral stakes of the case are staggering, and Seeley suspects that murder cannot be ruled out as a hardball litigation tactic of big-pharma adversary St. Gall Laboratories.

As Seeley travels between San Francisco and Silicon Valley to prepare for trial, dark facts surface concerning the vaccine’s discovery by Vaxtek scientist Alan Steinhardt and its alleged theft by St. Gall researcher Lily Warren. Ethical quandaries deepen into mortal danger as the trial, under the stern prodding of federal judge Ellen Farnsworth, rushes to its unexpected end. A timely and fascinating look at how the law operates at its most arcane yet financially consequential, A Patent Lie is further evidence that Paul Goldstein is an emerging master of the legal thriller.

Meet Michael Seeley, a take-no-prisoners intellectual property litigator–and a man on the brink of personal and career collapse. So when United Pictures virtually demands that he fly out to Hollywood to confirm legally that they own the rights to their corporate cash-cow franchise of Spykiller films, he has little choice but to comply. What he discovers in these gilded precincts will plunge him headfirst into the tangled politics of the blacklisting era and then into the even darker world of Nazi-occupied Poland. Drawing on historical fact and legal scholarship, this is a breathless tale of deception and intrigue.]]> 199906 3.05 75 21 2006 348376 0804747482 9780804747486 1 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173951402m/348376.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173951402s/348376.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/348376.Copyright_s_Highway_From_Gutenberg_to_the_Celestial_Jukebox 3.29 7 199906 3.05 75 21 1995 553800 1591841771 9781591841777 2 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/553800.Intellectual_Property_The_Tough_New_Realities_That_Could_Make_or_Break_Your_Business 4.33 3 The definitive guide to intellectual property for business managers

How can a product of the mind—an innovation, a song, a logo, a business secret—become the subject of precise property rights? No idea is entirely original; every innovative business borrows, sometimes extensively, from its competitors and others. So how do we draw the line between fair and unfair use?

Billions of dollars ride on that question, as do the fates of publishers, software producers, drug companies, advertising firms, and many others. It's also a key question for individuals—for instance, if you quit your job after mastering the company's secrets, what can you do with that information?

With the growth of the internet and global markets, having a smart IP strategy is more essential than ever. Intellectual Property is the ideal book for non-lawyers who deal with patents, trade secrets, trademarks, and copyrights—all essential business issues that have changed rapidly in the last few years.

Goldstein draws on dozens of fascinating case studies, from the Polaroid vs. Kodak battle to Kellogg's surprising trademark suit against Exxon to whether a generic perfume is allowed to smell exactly like Chanel No. 5.

Every business decision that involves IP is also a legal decision, and every legal decision is also a business decision. Lawyers and managers need to work together to navigate these murky waters, and this book shows how.]]> 199906 3.05 75 21 2007 6811171 1415930767 9781415930762 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6811171-errors-omissions 0.0 0 199906 3.05 75 21 428308 3.58 501 122 2006 6767540 030727490X 9780307274908 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6767540-a-patent-lie 0.0 0 A Patent Lie is further evidence that Paul Goldstein is an emerging master of the legal thriller.

After being forced from his high-powered Manhattan law firm, Michael Seeley—the tough-but-wounded hero of Errors and Omissions—has set up shop in his native Buffalo. Partly out of need, partly out of pride, Seeley takes on a case for his estranged brother, whose small biotech firm is suing a Swiss pharmaceutical giant over a controversial new AIDS vaccine. Seeley heads out to Silicon Valley to lead the case, but soon realizes there is much more at stake than he was first led to believe. As certain partnerships come to light, and financial gains become staggeringly clear, Seeley's own life may be in grave danger.]]> 199906 3.05 75 21 2009 6273878 1587780305 9781587780301 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6273878.Selected_Statutes_and_International_Agreements_on_Unfair_Competition_Trademark_Copyright_and_Patent_2001_Edition 0.0 0 199906 3.05 75 21 209012 0.0 0 0 1168358 0.0 0 0 2001 6273877 1566629314 9781566629317 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6273877.Selected_Statutes_and_International_Agreements_on_Unfair_Competition_Trademark_Copyright_and_Patent_2000_Edition 0.0 0 199906 3.05 75 21 209012 0.0 0 0 1168358 0.0 0 0 2000 6089180 1415949980 9781415949986 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6089180.A_Patent_Lie_9_Cds_Unabridged_Library_Edition_ 0.0 0 199906 3.05 75 21 428308 3.58 501 122 2008 4591913 1566625351 9781566625357 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4591913.Real_Estate_Transactions_Cases_and_Materials_on_Land_Transfer_Development_and_Finance 0.0 0 199906 3.05 75 21 304102 1.75 4 0 1997
