Written to provide engineers and scientists with a coherent guide to how to protect their inventions and creations, this text provides readers with a solid foundation to help them know when and why it is necessary to seek advice before valuable rights are lost or the rights of others are infringed. Coverage includes: employment contracts, as well as the ability of engineers to take confidential and secret knowledge to a new job; shop rights; and information to help entrepreneurs establish a non-conflicting enterprise when leaving their prior employment.
