"Fun IP" has put an end to my quest in search of a perfect handbook on IP.
It teaches you the ABCD of IP in the simplest way possible. Simple, precise, succint and nothing fussy about the book, is what made it a perfect read. After having laid my hands on big fat chunky books on IP that left me perplexed with big terminologies and jargons, I strongly recommend this book to all beginners, to gain a better insight on IP.
A book for All- Lawyers, IP Professionals, students, and anybody fascinated by IP.
Should you buy it? A big Yesss!!
I would say pick up the book and you are all set for a fun IP reading session for the weekend.
