Lawful Living
Books that make South African law easy to understand
Law Made Simple
Law Made Simple: Compliance for Business, Citizens, and for our Government is about what our country expects of its citizens: what you, your business competitors, your neighbours, and Government should be doing – for everyone’s good.
IP Made Simple
Intellectual property is present in our daily lives from the music we download, to photographs we post, to goods we buy and products we manufacture.
Intellectual Property Made Simple explains the nature, creation, and ownership of these different intellectual property rights, all in bite-size sections which are easy to read and simple to understand.

“Persons in commerce and elsewhere are often confronted with complicated intellectual property concepts… Adv Salmon’s book goes a long way towards making these concepts understandable and less intimidating.”
Wim Alberts, Professor of Mercantile law, University of Johannesburg
“Simple, engaging and easy to understand — it is a book that every law student and business person should have.”

“To present this […] in simplified form in one slim volume without unnecessary legalese is a major accomplishment. Few have been able to do what Adv Owen Salmon SC succeeded in doing and I fully recommend this book to the general public — and to many learned lawyers — as a beginner’s guide to IP.”
Louis (LTC) Harms, Retired Judge of Appeal, former Deputy President of the Supreme Court of Appeal, and Professor Extraordinary for Intellectual Property Law at the University of Pretoria.
“I have no hesitation in recommending this book to anyone who requires a better understanding of trade marks, designs, copyright and patents. Owen Salmon is to be commended in providing such a useful tool.”
