Legal Reference Guide
This book could be useful to the right reader. The emphasis is legal/trademark. It's a mini-text heavy on tradmark basics, definitions and court decisions. Franklin provides guidance on topics like trademark process and the differences between a copyright, trademark, etc.. Ir addresses the legal aspects of how to keep your trademark from becoming a generic word as was the fate of Xerox (we all should have such problems.) The book would probably be a good intro/reference for law students or paralegals but as a marketing mgr for a small company it wasn't what I was looking for.
