Intellectual Assets for Engineers and Scientists: Creation and Management
by Uday S. RacherlaEngineers and scientists engaged in creative works, inventions, and innovations – as part of the free-enterprise, free-market system – must understand what Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) are and know how to strategically use them to create competitive advantage, wealth, and value. An acknowledged, major contributing factor to non-awareness amongst technical audience is the lack of availability of easily-understandable, business-relevant, and comprehensive books on the subject, that scientists and engineers can access. This book will provide comprehensive, easy-to-understand, innovation management perspectives on a wide range of IPRs for practicing scientists and engineers. Key Features: • One-stop shop for valuable information on all forms of IPRs for technical audience • Strong innovation management component along the lines of technology for business and innovations for customers, and IP laws for protecting and unlocking the value of creative works, inventions, and innovations • Gives easy-to-read, easy-to-follow innovation management perspectives • Emphasizes IPR-related topics of practical relevance • Compares the IP Systems of United States and others (EU, China & India)
Intellectual Property Issues in Microbiology
by Harikesh Bahadur Singh Chetan Keswani Surya Pratap SinghIn the current era current era of significant innovations, science and technology are powerful tools improving human welfare through prosperity and sustainable development. The development of microbiology based industries in any given country is shaped by the characteristics of its technology—particularly its close relation to scientific knowledge, and by country-specific factors such as the level and nature of the scientific knowledge base, the institutional set-up, and the role assumed by the government, all of which influence the country's ability to exploit the new opportunities.This unique book presents an integrated approach for sustained innovation in various areas of microbiology. Focusing on the industrial and socio-legal implications of IPR in microbiological advances, it offers a comprehensive overview not only of the implications of IPR in omics-based research but also of the ethical and intellectual standards and how these can be developed for sustained innovation.The book is divided into three sections discussing current advances in microbiological innovations, recent intellectual property issues in agricultural, and pharmaceutical microbiology respectively. Integrating science and business, it offers a glimpse behind the scenes of the microbiology industry, and provides a detailed analysis of the foundations of the present day industry for students and professionals alike.

Peering behind the scenes, it provides a thorough analysis of the foundations of the present day industry for students and professionals alike.
Intellectual Property Protection for Plant Related Innovation: Fit for Future? (Law for Professionals)
by Michael Andreas KockThe book reviews the history, present, and likely future of intellectual property for plant-related inventions. It describes “what works” and “what does not work” in the current situation and analyzes whether the current intellectual property framework will be able to cope with the rise of genome editing/new breeding technologies (especially CRISPR Cas). Based on trend data, the analysis shows that the current system, including stakeholder initiatives, will most likely not be able to adapt to the technology change. It then evaluates different options for legislators to respond and proposes in detail a new holistic IP system which merges elements of the patent and the plant variety protection system into one new system.
Intellectual Property in Academia: A Practical Guide for Scientists and Engineers
by Nadya ReingandThis book provides a practical understanding of intellectual property basics relevant in an academic environment.

A special chapter addresses issues in copyright law relevant to academics, such as determining what is copyrightable in reporting an industry-sponsored project.
Intellectual Pursuits of Nicolas Rashevsky
by Maya M. ShmailovWho was Nicolas Rashevsky? To answer that question, this book draws on Rashevsky's unexplored personal archival papers and shares interviews with his family, students and friends, as well as discussions with biologists and mathematical biologists, to flesh out and complete the picture. "Most modern-day biologists have never heard of Rashevsky. Why?" In what constitutes the first detailed biography of theoretical physicist Nicolas Rashevsky (1899-1972), spanning key aspects of his long scientific career, the book captures Rashevsky's ways of thinking about the place mathematical biology should have in biology and his personal struggle for the acceptance of his views. It brings to light the tension between mathematicians, theoretical physicists and biologists when it comes to the introduction of physico-mathematical tools into biology. Rashevsky's successes and failures in his efforts to establish mathematical biology as a subfield of biology provide an important test case for understanding the role of theory (in particular mathematics) in understanding the natural world. With the biological sciences moving towards new vistas of inter- and multi-disciplinary collaborations and research programs, the book will appeal to a wide readership ranging from historians, sociologists, and ethnographers of American science and culture to students and general readers with an interest in the history of the life sciences, mathematical biology and the social construction of science.
