“Informative and insightful. This edited compendium contains eleven chapters featuring easy-to-read contributions…. The book is laid out well, and it is a breezy read. Although the target audience is senior executives and managers in the world of business, the book is a very good collection for anyone interested in intellectual property… Worth the time, money and effort.” —Professor Jay Kesan, J.D., Ph.D., U. of Illinois (Voiceless.com, October 4, 2006)

“In his new book, Making Innovation Pay, Berman writes that patent owners have the same rights as property owners to protect and prosper from their assets, and he taps some of the most recognized IP gurus in the game to show companies how best to accomplish that.” (Corporate Dealmaker, Mar-Apr 2006)
