Interfaces on Trial: Intellectual Property and Interoperability in the Global Software Industry

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful, concise account of complex issues
Review: This is a wonderful review of the legal and legislative matters facing the computer industry. It concisely follows recent developments without editorializing a position. A tremendous amount of research obviously went into this book. It is well organized, creating a flow from one idea to the next. While being very thorough, it is written for both the layman and those with a background in the field. It achieves a seeming impossibility: an entertaining book about complex legal issues. I can only hope to see future books by the authors, Jonathan Band and Masanobu Katoh.
