Information resulting from intellectual property identification and analysis can be the basis of an investment decision, new investment idea, and creative financing structure, and a great deal of innovation relating to intellectual property is occurring in the investment industry. This title is designed to provide an overview of the new ways to make money, and show the opportunities, trends, and challenges associated with intellectual property investing. Most countries have strong intellectual property regimes, they date back hundreds of years. Copyrights were invented with the rollout of the printing press. “Brands” have their name in part due to the need to identify the source. Intellectual property rights have created important economic incentives for authors, entrepreneurs, and inventors to share their ideas. Intellectual property is getting more attention from investors because of its increasing importance in finance and the global economy. Now, intellectual property considered a key geopolitical asset with an increasingly prominent position in global trade. This book is a source for the investors for ways to monetize their intellectual property. David S.

Author: Forrest McDonald Publisher:reprinted by BeardBooks in 2004 Published: first published in 1962 by the University of Chicago. Insull had been in the electric business as long as there had been electric business, he had started as Thomas Edison’s private secretary in 1881. He organized the Edison General Electric Company. Insull worked out a model of nationwide product distribution that all American industry copied. He popularized mass production and was selling at the lowest possible cost; he first applied on a large scale the concept of the load and diversity factors, the natural monopoly principle, the open-end mortgage used in financing expansion, and rigorous cost accounting. He was the father of effective governmental regulation of public utilities and a progenitor of rural electrification, and he pioneered successful welfare programs years before most of business, labor, or government took any significant steps in that direction… H was a man who “specialized in individual cases,” and “fixed” things, arranged matters privately. The mountainous records of several investigations - of Insull and of the business he was in - might have added more information. This title explores a forgotten figure who had a huge impact on America, Americans, and future of this fascinating country. Forrest McDonald is the author of numerous books. He retired in 2002 as Distinguished University Research Professor at the University of Alabama after teaching at Brawn University, Wayne State University, and University of Alabama for over 40 years. | This Month Featured Publisher Hammond World Atlas Hammond World Atlas Corporation is one of America's oldest and most respected map publishing companies.
