Review
"This book will serve as an excellent resource for licensing practitioners.
Although it is international in scope, it will still be useful for
practitioners who only license domestically. By the highlighting of the
differences so succinctly, the reader can better understand the fundamental
principles underlying practice in the reader's own jurisdiction."
"The editors have achieved the unusual- a book that flows relatively
seamlessly from one contributor to another. Some clauses are shown to be
licensee friendly and some are steps towards a licensor's position and some
are designed for the licensor's position. This is very helpful. When the
clauses are not so identified, often the commentary will provide insight into
the differing positions. Here the strong editorial control has resulted in a
highly integrated practical book which will be used continually by
practitioners who strive for best practices.This book fills a serious gap in
our literature. It will be a highly value resource for the experienced
practitioner, for whom there is far to little material available. The strong
editorial control has produced a very practical book and makes available
complex material in a readily available manner."
