Virtual Monopoly aims to provide a fresh and innovative overview of how intellectual property is used in today's business world. In attempting to describe business trends with a broad brush it is inevitable that some finer points of legal detail become lost.

This book has not been written as legal opinion, and should not be read or used as much. Intellectual property can be a complex area of law and you are advised to take professional legal advice relevant to any particular business matter in which you may engage.

This book is no substitute for professional legal counsel, and the author accepts no legal responsibility for any actions taken by any reader.
