The Law of Assignment, 3rd Edition, analyzes the legal principles governing intangible property and choses in action. The text examines how these distinct assets come into existence, their defining legal characteristics, and the mechanisms used to transfer rights from one party to another.
The treatise addresses broad categories of intangible assets, including contractual rights, debts, securities, intellectual property, and leases. It evaluates foundational transfer principles alongside practical commercial considerations that arise when dealing with different types of property.
The 3rd Edition incorporates new chapters devoted to factoring and powers of attorney, addressing topics of substantial importance in contemporary legal practice.
