Essentials of Licensing Intellectual Property

"Poltorak and Lerner have produced a highly readable and informative introduction to intellectual property licensing, written with style, grace and occasionally tongue in parenthetical cheek. It should be required reading for those new to the field as well as for others needing a 'Licensing 101' course."
—Emmett Murtha, President & CEO, QED Intellectual Property (USA); Past President of the Licensing Executives Society and former Director of Licensing for IBM

"Professionals in manufacturing and in supply chain management have little time or motivation to grapple with legal texts. Yet, they need precise, complete, easy-to-read material that can educate them both quickly and well. Alexander Poltorak and Paul Lerner, in Essentials of Intellectual Property Licensing, understand their audience's needs, and produced a work that is actually fun to read. More to the point, it is easy to read, amazingly concise and clear for a legal text, and encourages the reader to step forth as a partner with legal counsel to tackle issues head-on."
—Alexis N. Sommers, Ph.D. Professor of Industrial En gineering at University of New Haven & President of the Connecticut Association of Purchasing Managers
