This book provides a focused and detailed discussion of one specific type of intellectual property (IP) transaction: the patent and know-how licence agreement. It analyses and explains the legal and practical issues that arise when drafting, negotiating, and advising this kind of agreement. The work discusses issues of law and practice relevant to IP licensing, including legal issues affecting international IP transactions, the nature of a licence, commercial law and practice affecting patent and know-how licence agreements, and the role of other areas of law, such as data protection and privacy, competition law, insolvency, and sale-of-goods law. It provides a detailed overview of patent and know-how licence agreements, including international business practice and trends, valuation of technology and financial terms, key elements, structure, and how they differ from other IP transactions. Later chapters examine in detail the terms commonly found in patent and know-how licence agreements, and each chapter includes samples of wording to illustrate the points under discussion. The work focuses on English and European Union-wide law, considering selected differences between English law and the law in other jurisdictions, such as the United States, to illustrate the different approaches the court may take on particular issues. Drafting Patent and Know-how Licence Agreements is an authoritative and practical guide to this area of law, providing detailed coverage of everything the legal practitioner should consider when drafting this kind of agreement.

On June 3, 1769, the planet Venus briefly passed across the face of the sun in a cosmic alignment that occurs twice per century. Anticipation of the rare celestial event sparked a worldwide competition among aspiring global superpowers, each sending their own scientific expeditions to far-flung destinations to time the planet's trek. These pioneers used the Venus Transit” to discover the physical dimensions of the solar system and refine the methods of discovering longitude at sea.
 In this fast-paced narrative, Mark Anderson reveals the stories of three Venus Transit voyages--to the heart of the Arctic, the New World, and the Pacificthat risked every mortal peril of a candlelit age. With time running out, each expedition struggles to reach its destinationa quest that races to an unforgettable climax on a momentous summer day when the universe suddenly became much larger than anyone had dared to imagine.
The Day the World Discovered the Sun tells an epic story of the enduring human desire to understand our place in the universe.

The interplay between graph theory and a wide variety of models and applications in mathematics, computer science, operations research, and the natural and social sciences continues to grow. This book is geared toward the more mathematically mature student. The first two chapters provide the basic definitions and theorems of graph theory and the remaining chapters introduce a variety of topics and directions for research. These topics draw on numerous areas of theoretical and applied mathematics, including combinatorics, probability, linear algebra, group theory, topology, operations research, and computer science. This makes the book appropriate for a first course at the graduate level or as a second course at the undergraduate level. The authors build upon material previously published in Graph Theory and Its Applications, third edition, by the same authors. That text covers material for both an undergraduate and graduate course, while this book builds on and expands the graduate-level material. List of Features <ul> <li>Extensive exercises and applications.</li> <li>Flexibility: appropriate for either a first course at the graduate level; or an advanced course at the undergraduate level.</li> <li>Opens avenues to a variety of research areas in graph theory.</li> <li>Emphasis on topological and algebraic graph theory</li> </ul>
