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

 

 “I appreciate your letter of February 1, 1989 [enclosing a copy of an article on patents]. ... I found your enclosure fascinating.”

Milton Friedman, Hoover Institution

 

“Many thanks for sending me your paper draft, which I managed to read over the weekend.  It is, I believe, a valuable contribution ….”

“I’m counting on you to write the definitive patent-economics article.”

Thomas J. Campbell, Professor, Stanford Law School, United States Congressman, and Dean, Haas School of Business, University of California Berkeley

 

“Meanwhile, let me tell you that I have thoroughly enjoyed your letter to Senator Hatch, et al., on the intellectual property provisions of the Omnibus Trade Bill.  It seems to me to be sane, penetrating, and persuasive.  I hope that its message get through.”

Betty Bock, Chief Economist, Antitrust Research, The Conference Board, New York, New York

 

“I did have an opportunity to review your comments to the PTO Hearing and thought they were on target.”

George B. Gould, Vice President and Chief Patent Counsel, Hoffman-LaRoche

 

“I am pleased to enclose the Office of Technology Assessment’s report on Commercial Biotechnology: an International Analysis. … Your input and guidance were extremely helpful in creating a study that the Congress and others interested in biotechnology should find helpful.”
