Reviews
"The book is a very good resource for the managers of companies and other innovative organizations, so that they can properly manage the results of the R&D processes. ... I believe it is especially useful for lawyers who must interact with the boards or directors that make protection or investment decisions, since dialogue is not always easy between those who must advise and those who must decide on managers related to intellectual property rights."
