Weiss, Key to IP

I know this book is off topic, but I thought it worth bringing to your attention anyway.

If you know as much about intellectual property as I did before I read Chris Weiss’s Key to IP: Identifying Your Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, and Trade Secrets, you’ll come away enlightened.

Weiss is a patent attorney who, in about 70 pages, explains the basics in a non-lawyerly way. That is, his prose is clear, occasionally even amusing. And always informative. I now understand why so many products have “patent pending” printed on their labels. Spoiler: getting a patent can be a very long process.
