This casebook addresses fundamental relationships between Congress, the courts, and an alphabet soup of federal executive agencies. Materials have been selected for inclusion based on the author's experience teaching in a variety ofregulatory areas, as well as administrative process and intellectualproperty, since 1970. Although substantive diversity is unavoidable, this book fosters more attention to process by minimizing it. This book includes a full-text CD. Despite the increasing global significance of intellectual property and the increased domestic importance of the Copyright Office, it and the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) have traditionally been ignored in administrative law. This book makes it apparent that both are excellent vehicles for exploring traditional process issues because decisions are subject to statutory and nonstatutory, as well as collateral and direct, challenges.
