I know a lot more about IP Law now but gosh was it a dense read.

I am currently enrolled in a class for IP and this is our text. It's very well-written, but has a lot of typos. I would expect better of a textbook that cost me over $150.

As I get further into the book, I am noticing that there is a lot left to the imagination, which is not really great for a textbook. Examples are very vague and confusing. And questions are too vague to even know if you are reaching the correct conclusion.

I don't want to be mean, because this is a serviceable textbook and it's not its fault that I find my professor's lectures coma-inducing. She literally goes through the book and just repeats everything verbatim. Or nearly everything. She omits some things in her lectures, but not on her tests.
