LAWFUEL – Press Release Service – Paul Goldstein, Of Counsel with Morrison & Foerster and the Stella W. and Ira S. Lillick Professor of Law at Stanford University, has written his first novel, Errors and Omissions (Doubleday Books, 2006). The mystery thriller weaves a tale of an intellectual property attorney who represents a movie studio over the rights to a James Bond-like movie franchise.
The San Francisco Chronicle observed, “his work is the first major novel that attempts to harness the undiscovered drama inherent in copyright and patent law.” Well-known mystery writer Sue Grafton commented, It’s difficult to convey the mounting excitement with which I turned the pages….the writing [is] masterful, not one wasted word….A terrific read.”
Goldstein, one of the nation’s leading authorities in copyright law, has served as a consultant to legal counsel in several path breaking copyright cases, including Universal v. Sony (the “Betamax” case); West v. Mead Data Central (the “Star Pagination” case); On Command Video Corp. v. Columbia Pictures Industries; and Fujitsu v. IBM Corporation.
