As licensing law is created and revised to keep pace with developer and user needs, Intellectual Property, Software, and Information Licensing: Law and Practice, with 2011 Cumulative Supplement and accompanying CD-ROM will provide the information and tools practitioners need to develop comprehensive licensing agreements, rectify existing problems, maximize returns within the legal boundaries, anticipate new concerns, and avoid potential pitfalls. Unlike other licensing treatises, which focus on either license drafting or on the theory of license agreements, this treatise draws from the authors' wealth of professional expertise to develop a balanced treatment that is both theoretical and practical in its approach.

The 2011 Cumulative Supplement provides updates on the latest cases, including:

• Significant decisions from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which define when a transaction is considered a license and when it is considered a "first sale" and elaborate on the treatment of a license agreement provision
• Bimbo Bakeries USA, Incorporated v. Botticella, in which the Third Circuit ruled on the proper inquiry for determining whether to grant an injunction to prevent the disclosure of trade secrets
• Integrated Genomics, Incorporated v. Gerngross, in which the Seventh Circuit interpreted "publication" to mean a disclosure to the public in the case of licensing agreement
• Robinson v. HSBC Bank USA, in which the district court determined that a picture of a house owned by claimants would not support an argument that the property was part of their identity
• and many others!

Intellectual Property, Software, and Information Licensing: Law and Practice, 2011 Cumulative Supplement is authored by Xuan-Thao N. Nguyen, B.A., J.D., a Professor of Law at the SMU Dedman School of Law, Dallas, TX; Robert W. Gomulkiewicz, B.A., M.A., J.D., a Professor of Law at the University of Washington School of Law, Seattle, WA; and Danielle M. Conway, B.S., J.D., L.L.M., a Professor of Law and Director of the Hawaii Procurement Institute at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, William S. Richardson School of Law.
