IP is kinda gross, but that's the world in which we live, so all attorneys should have as strong an understanding in this as in the rule against perpetuities and the fee simple absolute. this text is as good as any--which is to say, sucky.

I read the most recent edition, which was current through 2012. One of the best structured and laid-out law texts I've read. Good case selection and well-written notes. A wonderful introduction to a difficult and vast body of law.

Feel like it's one of the better law textbooks. Does help that it's a more interesting subject matter than other textbooks.
