Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Intellectual property is one of the most valuable forms of property in the modern world. From the perspective of companies producing knowledge-intensive goods, it encourages technological innovations for the benefit of humanity.
