Editorial Reviews

This book is essentially a guide to copyright and trademark law with Internet applications. Utilizing established copyright, trademark, and patent law, Kurz covers much of the growing body of Internet case law, which is still small in comparison with other technologies but is growing every day. His book includes informative endnotes for further inquiry, sample copyright forms, patent and trademark forms, assignment forms, and a sample confidentiality agreement. Writing from a legal perspective, Kurz has produced a highly informative and understandable reference source. An excellent legal starting point for budding webmasters or the next Tim Berners-Lee; recommended for all libraries.-Alan Schroeder, Chapman Univ. Sch. of Law, Huntington Beach, Cal.
