Summary: "Very thorough"
Very thorough guide to IP law and regulations. A little hard to get a survey of the broader regulatory landscape, but still a good resource.

Summary: "excellent nutshell"
This nutshell is great, I learned more out of it than I did in my patent law class. I wish I had read it before I took the class, that way I'd have a better understanding of it, it explains the confusing concepts really well. It was a life-saver on the final exam, and I'm going to use it for my trademark law class next semester as well!!

Summary: "Just wrong."
I only read the patent section, and have no knowledge of the other sections. However I have found the book to be entirely too superficial to be of any assistance. Additionally, at more than one occasion on topics that are fairly important, the information was just wrong. I have read the patent section of my IP supplements to prepare for the exam, and I by far recommend the IP hornbook. It's a little longer but WAY worth it over this book. If your library doesn't have a copy and it's too expensive for you, then try Examples and Explanations, but whatever you do, don't just rely on this book, you'll look like an idiot when you completely misstate some things. I mean 90 to 95% of it is right, I'm sure, but I'm going to get enough wrong on my own, I don't need help.
