The most trusted name in law school outlines, Emanuel Law Outlines were developed while Steve Emanuel was a student at Harvard Law and were the first to approach each course from the point of view of the student. Invaluable for use throughout your course and again at exam time, Emanuel Law Outlines are well-correlated to all major casebooks to help you to create your own outlines. Sophisticated yet easy to understand, each guide includes both capsule and detailed explanations of critical issues, topics, and black letter law you must know to master the course. Quiz Yourself Q&As, Essay Q&As, and Exam Tips give you ample opportunity to test your knowledge throughout the semester and leading up to the exam. Every title in the series is frequently updated and reviewed against new developments and recent cases covered in the leading casebooks. Emanuel Law Outlines provide a comprehensive breakdown of the law, more sweeping than most, for your entire study process.

Unfortunately this arrived too late for me to use, but I was able to read through it after and this is really a very good supplement. Giving this a read through for an Intro to IP class would be very beneficial.

This supplement is very helpful and a life-saver. I am currently taking both Trademark and Patent Law, and this book helps me understand the concepts in a much more organized way. I plan to use this book when I take Copyright Law. A must need for IP law.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thorough and clear

I used this supplement in conjunction with the barrett casebook and found it extremely useful.

My course was a four unit ip survey class covering trade secrets, patents, copyright, trademark, and the law of undeveloped ideas. We didnt tackle right to publicity or other ip topics, but what we did cover was extensively outlined in this supplement. The supplement is conveniently keyed to other ip casebooks as well. What I really liked with this supplement is the generally straightforward way it's laid out and the amount of black letter law it includes. Sometimes certain sections were slightly repetitious, but on the whole this supplement was great. The only reason it's not a five star for me is that it's missing a few recent cases that change the law and there is no info on the Aspen site the book tells you to reference to find out about updates.

Previously I've only used the understanding series and examples and explanations, but after my experience with this supplement I'll certainly be considering Emanuel for any future purchases as well.

In reflection, I could have skipped paying 170 for the casebook and just paid 40 for this supplement and been absolutely fine.

1.0 out of 5 stars EXTREMELY superficial book
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2012

Summary: the worst Emanuel outline

Disclaimer: I am a longtime Emanuel user and prefer it to Gilberts. However, this book is incredibly disappointing for 3 primary reasons:

1. It gives an incredibly superficial treatment to even the most complicated subjects. Example: the "utility" standard - discussed in 35 U.S.C. 101 and 102, is given LESS THAN ONE (1) PAGE of discussion. Disclosure, 35 U.S.C. 112, is given ONE AND A QUARTER (1.25) PAGES of discussion. This is simply unacceptable to anybody wanting to know more than a cocktail discussion's worth of information.
2. It provides scant case law support. Much of the information is presented without citing to cases or statutory authority - the author merely gives a proposition, but gives no history, facts, or cites to cases or statutes to support that conclusion. Those reading this book have most certainly taken civil procedure, so I give this analogy: the author's methodology would lose to a 12(b)(6) motion because it relies so much on conclusory allegations that were so disfavored in Twombly/Iqbal. Example: the "utility" section mentioned in my #1 CITES ONLY TWO (2) CASES in the entire section. There are easily 10+ important cases in this area that are critical.
3. Poor organization: this outline is more blocks of text than any kind of outline. There are too many uniform text paragraphs and not enough organization and breakdowns of how topics flow together. This defeats the "outline" portion of Emanuel Outlines.

The seller ship the book I ordered reasonably quick and I received it in the same condition as it was advertised. I have no complaints and would buy from this seller again. As to the book that I ordered, I have been reading Emanuel outlines for several years and think that they are the best outlines in their class.

I like the Emanuel supplements overall. This book really helped when studying for my IP final because it quickly and clearly breaks down the different areas of IP. It helped me review the concepts and types of analysis in combination with my outline.
