Publisher's Synopsis
For the U.S.S. Enterprise to explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, one "Starfleet" had to first protect the designs and images of the final frontier, don't you think? From the very first patent and trademark to the copyrighted movies of today, you'll find creativity from the outer reaches of the galaxy-and so much more. But here's the beautiful thing: Intellectual Property was vital to make this happen. The creators of Star Trek protected their ideas with intellectual property and, by doing so, enabled their creativity to be turned into a thriving franchise. This book is a collection of Star Trek patents, trademarks and copyrights for you to research, study and even color. Witness the history, the evolution, the growth and the becoming of a true sci-fi franchise!
