The Oxford Introductions to U.S. Law: Property provides both a bird's eye overview of property law and an introduction to how property law affects larger concerns with individual autonomy, personhood, and economic organization. Written by two authorities on property law, this book gives students of property a coherent account of how property law works, with an emphasis on describing the central issues and policy debates. It is designed for law students who want a short and theoretically integrated treatment of the subject, as well as for lawyers who are interested in the conceptual foundations of the law of property.

Principles of Patent Law provides comprehensive coverage of the policies, laws, rules, and practices of the U.S. patent system in a format accessible to students, lawyers, government officials, and business people. The sixth edition builds on the strengths of prior editions in providing an indispensable combination of the law and economic theory of patents, with extensive and diverse legal analyses and practitioner insights. It also continues to offer unique perspectives from the theory and practice of those who use and study property rights more generally and the history of the patent system more specifically. The sixth edition has been updated to cover the extensive developments in the law since the fifth edition, including the America Invents Act. This new edition also includes materials that contrast the common, utility patent with other patent-like regimes, including plant patents and design patents. A wealth of supplementary materials are provided in an accompanying website, including full versions of background documents, such as patent files, unedited versions of important cases, extra reading, and special materials designed to help students both during their studies and while seeking a job.
