Intellectual Property Licensing: Forms and Analysis (Commercial Law ntellectual Property Series)

Intellectual Property Licensing: Forms and Analysis is a comprehensive collection of forms, checklists and agreements designed to help attorneys deal with virtually any intellectual property licensing issue. It provides both the documents you need and the guidance to put them to use. The nearly 100 helpfully annotated forms and agreements in the book and on the CD-ROM include: copyright, trademark and patent agreements; work-for-hire agreements; nondisclosure and noncompete agreements; exit-interview guidelines; privacy/publicity releases and celebrity endorsement agreements; merchandising agreements; software development, distribution and licensing agreements; music licensing agreements; dramatic performance licensing agreements; and sample corporate copyright and trade secret policies. The authors devote separate, detailed chapters to product and media—specific licensing transactions, featuring discussion of negotiating considerations and the substantive legal background. This complete reference is the starting point for any licensing transaction.
