COMMENTS

 

“John Schlicher has written a treatise that will be a uniquely useful resource for those seeking guidance in the licensing of intellectual property (patents, copyrights and trade secrets).  Its examination of business practices and case law (particularly antitrust cases) by historical account, legal import and economic analysis (both theoretical and practical) will make it an especially valuable work both for scholarly reference and business understanding.  Its comprehensive treatment of the subject--including even a suggested intellectual property library and a reprint of the instructive essay by Professor William Baxter (Mr. Schlicher’s mentor) entitled “a Parable”--should make it an indispensable asset for every intellectual property and antitrust library.”

Jack Brown, Brown and Bain

 

“John Schlicher's new book, Licensing Intellectual Property, Legal, Business and Market Dynamics, is an enormous contribution to licensing literature.  It not only thoroughly describes the legal rules and limitations applicable to the licensing intellectual property rights, it also clearly explains the business, financial and economic principles that underlie intellectual property licensing.  I believe this book is an essential resource for anyone making decisions as to the strategy and implementation of licensing patents, copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights.”

Norman Rosen, Vice-President, GE and RCA Licensing Management Operation

 

“John Schlicher has been at work on this text [on licensing and antitrust], intellectually speaking, for about 25 years.   The effort shows in the careful, articulate development of his analysis, both legal and economic.  The book represents an opportunity those who work in the field should seize.”

William F. Baxter, Stanford Law School, and Assistant Attorney General, Department of Justice, Antitrust Division

 

“Thanks very much for your note of 12 November and for the kindly-inscribed copy of your book, Licensing Intellectual Property.  You continually amaze me, not only by your scholarly productivity, but by the very high level at which you pursue it -- unusual for a practicing lawyer, indeed!”
