INSIDE
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
This
substantial work (xxviii plus 516 pages) was published by CIPA in autumn 2013
(£40, £35 for CIPA members, delivery free to UK addresses). The book
seeks to show how overall policy and strategy in intellectual property
translates into day-to-day legal practice, and encourages practitioners to take
an assertive, broad, and businesslike view of the
needs of the client – especially one with international business or aspiration – but without compromise of professional ethics and
principles. It will in addition be a
valuable resource for research academics, students in IP and business courses, and policy-makers. For further details and ordering by post,

Reviewers’
comments (senior IP professionals):
Bob Pidgeon (until 2013 of the Appleyard Lees managing committee and senior partner):
“Policy, strategy, and management, and day-to-day IP practice, are considered
side-by-side”; “thought-provoking ideas
and proposals throughout”; “[covers]
many matters which are ‘in the IP mix’ but which are rarely discussed in a
rounded manner”; “very broad in its sweep, and … overwhelmingly practical and
helpful”; “many chapters … of value to any IP attorney”; “particularly useful to IP attorneys in
positions of management responsibility – or IP attorneys who aspire to [such
positions]”; “[the] price … a steal”.
IPKat: “highly satisfactory”; “It’s the fact that it’s a ‘management
text’ that makes the text so very engaging.
The author’s lively personality and considerable personal experience
shine through the text on an ongoing basis”; “negotiate a bulk deal … and buy a
dozen”.
Terry Johnson (editorial committee,
EPI Information): “Dr Jewess gives sensible practical advice,
valuable insights, and helpful guidelines”;
“a compelling read for … practitioners in private practice, in in-house
departments, in solicitor IP departments, and those policy makers on the
‘Official Side’ “; “covers all the major
jurisdictions”; “refreshing
thoughts”; “this well-written and readable
book [is] a ‘must have’ for all IP practitioners of whatever nationality and
wherever they practice worldwide”.
Reviewers’
comments (senior academics):
Professor Christine Greenhalgh (in
World Competition): “[An] important new book”;
“the distillation of a vast amount of experience about what works and what is unhelpful in IPR”; “will be of immense value to those struggling with this complex element of modern business activity”.
Professor Ruth Soetendorp (in
The Law Teacher): “Written in an engaging and accessible style”;
“full of law and legal insights [but] not in competition with standard IP law texts ... fulfilling a different task ... with clarity and enthusiasm”; “speaks eloquently both to the patent attorney and IP legal adviser, and to the engineer”; “a welcome addition to reading lists and library shelves, for the benefit of academics and students alike”.
