Recenzje

'... This book is a work of art, that reads like a novel, but blows your mind like a documentary on a topic that you thought you were already schooled in! The book will appeal to any reader interested in broadening their contextual understanding of intellectual property, as well as those considering the globalised future of IP.' Hayleigh Bosher, The IPKat blog (https://ipkitten.blogspot.com/)
