Eric E. Bensen

​

Patent Law Perspectives is an authoritative 9-volume treatise, that has been thoroughly revised and updated to ensure that it continues to be a comprehensive, but easy to use, guide to patent law. This work provides in depth coverage of virtually every topic that may be of interest to the modern practitioner, typically with an introduction that identifies in simple terms the core pertinent rules that guide practitioners and courts. 

 

Patent Law Perspectives begins with an overview chapter that is an excellent resource for a quick answer to many patent law questions as well as a road map to the remainder of the treatise. The overview is followed by a chapter that provides brief summaries of important recent patent decisions organized by topic.  The third chapter provides brief descriptions of more than 200 Supreme Court patent cases, also organized by topic.
