Prosecuting Intellectual Property Crimes

This Manual builds on the success of the editions published in 2001
and 1997 by giving much broader and deeper treatment to all subject
areas, while also adding several new topics. To say that this publication
is simply an "updated version" of the 2001 manual would seriously
understate the nature and scope of the changes. The 2006 Manual was
restructured to present the material in a more consistent format that is
easier to use; all the chapters were rewritten to add broader and more
in-depth coverage of all areas; recent changes to the case law, statutes, and
sentencing guidelines are addressed; and new chapters were added to
address the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, patent law, and victim
issues. Throughout, we try to present material in a way that will be of the
most practical use to prosecutors.
