Licensing Intellectual Property in the Information Age (Carolina Academic Press Law Casebook)

In addition to adding Jay Dratler, one of America s leading authorities on licensing intellectual property, and Barbara Wrigley, a practitioner with many years experience in the field, to the list of co-authors, the Second Edition of Licensing Intellectual Property in the Information Age (formerly Licensing Intellectual Property in the Digital Age) has been largely redone.
