RB 184: Intellectual Property — Not Just For Lawyers Anymore
From the MediaBerkman blog:
It’s time to stop thinking about intellectual property as something purely for your legal counsel to deal with. That’s the driving idea behind John Palfrey’s aptly titled new book Intellectual Property Strategy.
