Publisher's summary

In the competitive high-stakes game of big business, it is no secret that companies work the legislative and legal systems to gain advantage in the marketplace. It's called competitive legal strategy, by which some companies make the rules and others are forced to operate within restrictive boundaries that add cost and inconvenience to entering a given market. Rather than pass judgment on these tactics, Shell exposes these realities in order to give business owners and managers the legal knowledge to make better, more profitable strategic decisions. Citing numerous real-world cases, he examines contracts, lawsuits, government legislation and lobbying, patents, copyrights, and other intellectual-property issues such as music downloading. Famous rivalries such as those between Henry Ford and the early automobile consortium, the railroads and the trucking industry, the cola wars, and the case against Microsoft are examined. Without getting too technical, Shell shows how companies that utilize smart legal strategies early and pick their fights wisely are the ones that come out ahead.
