Media Reviews
Baruch Lev's books is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the management of intangible assets ('intangibles'), such as patents, know-how, and relationships... Intangibles is a rewarding read for patent practitioners with an interest in patent policy, advocacy for increased patent resources, patent valuation, and patent management in relation to the innovation value chain. --Devin S. Morgan, Patent Strategy & Management, 10/1/2003
