This book is a thorough, accessible reference and resource for any researcherinvolved in testing and evaluating novel chemicals, as well as those interested in learning more about patent law as it relates to the chemical industry. Many chemists begin their careers in industry with little to no background in intellectual property protection, and learning the relevant concepts along the way can be difficult and confusing without proper training. Rather than going through an array of patents and explaining their parts in tedious detail, the authors provide a combination of explanation surrounding a given topic coupledwith discussions centered on actual federal court opinions. In an accessible manner, the book presents everything a working chemist or student / novice needs to know about patentability, explaining important concepts of patent law (like novelty, non-obviousness, and freedom-to-operate) in easy-to-understand terms. Through abundant examples from case law as well as ‘real-world’ situations with which a researcher might be faced, the reader will be able to better understand how to put that knowledge into practice.
