A unified vision of intellectual assets lends itself to diverse perspectives. In addi- tion to each and every author who devoted significant time and care, and without whom this book would be impossible, I am indebted to a number of people, sev- eral of whom should be singled out. Their thoughtful comments, counsel, and en- couragement made a great deal of difference in the final product. They include Sam Adler of American Lawyer Media, Christopher Fine of Goldman Sachs, Stephen Fox of Hewlett-Packard, Thom Goodman of Corporate Legal Times, James Gould of Morgan & Finnegan, Dooyong Lee of LPS, Russell Parr of Intellectual Property Research Associates, Alexander Poltorak.
