Librarians struggling with the intricacies in ownership of copyrights, patents, and trademarks will be thrilled with this clear explanation of the differences in these three types of property and how to apply the laws and guidelines surrounding them. Wherry uses practical scenarios and case law to show situations that continue to plague the property owner as well as the librarians who endeavor to balance support for the owners while aiding their patrons seeking fair use. He explains the necessary changes needed over the years to update laws that have become outmoded by new technologies, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998. Wherry discusses at length the process of obtaining a patent on a new invention and exactly what having the patent means for the holder. Lengthy research is required to prevent costly filing fees that might result from denial by the patent office. Specially trained librarians and patent attorneys are often needed to help patrons in these searches. Trademark law is less confusing than patent law, and Wherry explains the process of registering a trademark, the rights of a trademark holder, and what happens when a trademark falls into common usage, such as Band-Aid. He also gives some examples of successful challenges of trademark infringements. The last chapter is devoted to a question-and-answer format for posing more than one hundred situational questions on property issues. Excellent end materials include a listing of libraries that act as depositories for patent and trademark searches and another listing of intellectual properties Web sites. Index. Appendix. 2002, ALA Editions, 172p,
— Leslie Carter
From The Critics
Though called a librarian's guide, this book will be useful to anyone who wishes to understand the basics about copyrights, patents, and trademarks. Wherry (library director and faculty member, Pennsylvania State U.), who writes in a pleasant narrative style, first describes the laws and their history, then goes into detail on the process of researching and applying for these protections for intellectual property. Internet resources are thoroughly covered. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
