Richard Stim, Ralph Warner

Buy This Book - You won't regret it
I have purchased several retirment planning books and this is the best book on the subject I have found.

Not a single word on Grants

This book is a good introductory survey of trademarks, the prosecution process and legal issues. The appendices are particularly helpful as guideposts and examples. However, it works best as an introduction, not a practice guide. For example, this book will tell you what an office action is but it will not tell you much about how to draft a response. The reader will find herself flipping ...
