Enfin la propriété intellectuelle à la portée de tous! by Michel Dubois & Co.

For an in-depth understanding of intellectual property, including the many benefits of the Intellectual Passport , a book entitled: Enfin la propriété intellectuelle à la portée de tous! is available for purchase in its original French version.

Synopsis: This book explains how access to intellectual property can become more easily available to a wider number of people (i.e. more democratic...). It shows what the author of a new commercial idea, or innovative service concept could do in order to demonstrate and benefit from ownership of his or her intellectual property internationally. It further elucidates how an inventor can do the same thing without having to incur the cost of obtaining a national patent in each country around the world. In addition, all this is available for a price that is, for the most part, completely affordable and well within the means of a great many people. The method proposed also includes additional benefits such as a way to safeguard proprietary secrets, a workable business plan and a selection of useful contracts, all of which serve to demonstrate the intent to commercialize the invention or service concept. In effect, all the pertinent aspects relating to intellectual property (philosophical, economic, legal, etc.) are discussed in this work, which is a unique treatise on this subject.

An English edition of the book "At last, intellectual property for everyone" is in translation; please revisit our web site for news of its release.
