Main Volume Information

As licensing law is created and revised to keep pace with developer and user needs, Intellectual Property, Software, and Information Licensing: Law and Practice, with accompanying CD-ROM, provides the information and tools practitioners need to develop comprehensive licensing agreements, rectify existing problems, maximize returns within the legal boundaries, anticipate new concerns, and avoid potential pitfalls. Unlike other licensing treatises, which focus on either license drafting or on the theory of license agreements, this treatise draws from the authors’ wealth of professional expertise to develop a balanced treatment that is both theoretical and practical in its approach.

The 2012 Cumulative Supplement provides updates on the latest licensing cases, including:

• The Second Circuit Court of Appeals decision confirming that when parties enter into a Memorandum of Understanding or Letter of Intent, the parties are bound to negotiate in good faith on the terms contained in the documents
• The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision noting that the copyright misuse doctrine has been applied sparingly and that copyright misuse does not prohibit the use of license conditions, but does prevent the copyright holder from using conditions to stifle competition
• The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision in Integrated Genomics, Incorporated v. Gerngross, regarding data used for commercial purposes versus educational purposes
• The Federal Circuit case addressing whether patent exhaustion has occurred even though the patentee licensor has not received royalties from its licensees
• Phonedog v. Kravitz, in which a California district court opened the door for trade secret subject matter to cover social network accounts and passwords
