"Intellectual Property: Private Rights, The Public Interest, and The Regulation of Creative Activity"" provides an overview of trademark, patent, and copyright doctrine and offers a foray into more advanced topics, such as digital rights management, international law, and state doctrinal developments in both civil and criminal law. Particularly unique is a final chapter that develops the ""new horizons"" of intellectual property, covering topics like open source, intellectual property and development, intellectual property as a business asset, and competition policy. The casebook is targeted to a wide range of law students, including both those who are scientifically inclined and those who are interested by creativity and invention as it arises in all aspects of current society. This book seeks to meet the needs of existing intellectual property professors and the host of new professors entering academia. The emphasis is on public regulation and encouragement of the creation and use of intellectual products. While many existing books focus squarely on the private interests protected by intellectual property law, this book's perspective is on both the private and public interests affected by intellectual property law as it regulates and promotes creative processes. By emphasizing the longstanding connection between intellectual property and the creative process, this casebook will appeal to a wide law school audience and explain the place of intellectual property law in an expanding, thriving economy.

Transactional Intellectual Property: From Startups to Public Companies is the successor to Intellectual Property in Business Organizations: Cases and Materials. 
 This casebook focuses on the legal problems of businesses that develop and utilize intellectual property as the businesses are founded, financed, expanded, transferred to others, or terminated. The text also addresses the distinctive roles played by intellectual property at three stages of business development: • The startup phase (where intellectual property often plays key roles in business formation and venture capital financing); • The mid-life phase (where intellectual property is often an important factor in going public or selling a business through a merger into a larger concern); and • The mature company phase (where successful firms must deal with problems such as preventing abuses of dominant intellectual property positions and remaining competitive in complex high-tech markets despite being innovators in only small components of those markets). 
 Intellectual Property in Business Organizations is designed for law students in advanced classes concerning intellectual property, basic and advanced business organizations topics as encountered in connection with intellectual property, and the law of science and technology. This text would also be valuable in courses on technology transfer and licensing, as well as in intellectual property survey courses. It is also suitable for business school students in classes with a substantial focus on legal problems of developing businesses. A strong background in intellectual property law is not assumed. Rather, background material on important intellectual property standards is provided in an appendix to the text. In addition, detailed notes on particular intellectual property laws and legal issues raised in the materials are included with the readings.
