Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lively and innovative book is about computer code and the legal controls and restrictions on those who write it. The widespread use of personal computers and the Internet have made it possible to release new data or tools instantaneously to virtually the entire world. However, while the digital revolution allows quick and extensive use of these intellectual properties, it also means that their developers face new challenges in retaining their rights as creators. Drawing on a host of examples, Ben Klemens describes and analyzes the intellectual property issues involved in the development of computer software. He focuses on software patents because of their powerful effect on the software market, but he also provides an extensive discussion of how traditional copyright laws can be applied to code. The book concludes with a discussion of recommendations to ease the constraints on software development. This is the first book to confront these problems with serious policy solutions. It is sure to become the standard reference for software developers, those concerned with intellectual property issues, and for policymakers seeking direction. It is critical that public policy on these issues facilitates progress rather than hindering it. There is too much at stake.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How has the legal system used its traditional body of copyright and patent law to protect rights in computer software? The last 15 years have changed the entire landscape with regard to the creation and protection of software as intellectual property. Written by a computer expert with extensive participation in some of the most important software trials of the period, this book invites you to think critically about significant software issues and learn about the legal pitfalls surrounding software development in the industry today. The book is organized around various legal issues raised by both plaintiffs and defendants in copyright litigation, and the problems of the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office in dealing with the rapid proliferation of applications for software-related patents. The author explains important terms and concepts in software litigation such as infringement, substantial similarity, reverse engineering, the merger defense, and look and feel. A succinct, readable survey for computer professionals, nonlegal academics, and lawyers who need a fast summary of the critical issues and cases in software and intellectual property matters.

Book excerpt: Many computer software publishers are determined to secure unfair advantage at user expense by evading "objectionable" features of the federal copyright laws. In this attempt, the user may either be deceived into obeying a grossly distorted representation of the law or coerced by a bogus license agreement into abandoning certain rights guaranteed to ALL users under the copyright laws. To forestall publisher piracy of software user legal rights, laws encrypted in Mumbo-Jumbo are decrypted with the aid of key court decisions & expressed in plain English! The common unsigned software license agreement is debunked by exposing & resolving the deliberate conflict (between state & federal law) which is the foundation of the software publisher's sophisticated confusion strategy. Incredible extensive documented conversations with high-level California educational administrators are analyzed. A fascinating tale of intrigue, industry-sponsored sham legal opinions, & capitulation to commercial pressure explores the disastrous (for both taxpayers & educational integrity) conflict of interest created when the software industry is granted official state permission to "educate" the public school districts about their obligations under the copyright laws. Changes are proposed which will rid public education of all dependence upon the software industry for answers to copyright questions.
