Foreword to the First Edition
A few years ago, I contacted Mr. Howard B. Rockman, a patent attorney, and asked him to develop a graduate‐level course in Engineering Law to be offered on the Internet to all students enrolled in our Master of Engineering web‐based degree program, as well as to senior undergraduates in all fields of engineering. That course was very successful, and a follow‐up course in Intellectual Property Law quickly followed. It soon became clear that no satisfactory textbook existed for this second course, hence I convinced Mr. Rockman to write such a textbook and put him in touch with the publications office of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE).
The IEEE Press and John Wiley & Sons decided to publish Mr. Rockman’s manuscript, whose first edition is here presented to all practicing and student engineers and scientists who have an interest in intellectual property. I am convinced that this timely book will be very well received and will be very useful to both technical and legal personnel not only in the United States, but worldwide.
