The Handbook of European Intellectual Property Management: Developing, Managing and Protecting Your Company's Intellectual Property

When managed well, intellectual property (IP) puts enterprises in a position to lock in an advantage and command a premium. In Europe, the process of commercializing IP remains fraught with difficulties, with significant differences existing in the application and interpretation of these rights in each national jurisdiction. 

Drawing on a wide range of expertise - including editorial support and input from the European Patent Office - The Handbook of European Intellectual Property Management is a practical and easy-to-follow guide that reveals exactly how IP can contribute to improved competitive performance and to greater value on the balance sheet, while also offering a template for "best practice" in IP management.
