Patents for Business: The Manager’s Guide to Scope, Strategy, and Due Diligence
Praeger, March 2007
The strategic management of patents, and the costs of enforcing and defending them, are becomining critical business functions. In this accessible and practical guide, Henry Heines shows readers how to apply "due diligence," a common concept in corporate finance and investing, to analyze the costs and benefits of patent management, and to navigate through the legal and technical maze.

Small corporations are the leading forces in the development of new technologies, and patents are their most important assets. Heines’ book offers executives in small, rising corporations an in-depth, practical, useful comprehension of the patent system – the knowledge they need to understand, and work with, professional patent attorneys.
