Inventions and Their Management is a science book by Alf K. Berle and L. Sprague de Camp, based on the earlier book Inventing and Patenting by Alf K. Berle and Howard Wilcox. The Berle/de Camp version was published by the International Textbook Company in 1937. Second and third editions were issued by the same publisher in 1947 and 1951, and the work was revised and reissued under the new title Inventions, Patents, and Their Management by Van Nostrand in 1959. It has been translated into Japanese.
The book contains a comprehensive study of patents and patent law, trademarks, and copyright in the United States.
Inventions and Their Management was L. Sprague de Camp's first book; he went on to become a prominent science fiction and fantasy writer, as well as authoring a large number of additional non-fiction works.
