Ron J. Riley of InventorEd.com left a comment on one of my posts on invention promotion companies earlier today. I’m not sure that I’d seen his site before, but it appears to be a great resource of "Information about inventing, inventors, obtaining a patent, and enforcement of patent rights…[and] offers practical advice on what an [...]

Girl “inventing” Power
USA Today: Research program is a step up for students
Two have U.S. patents. For several others moving in the same direction, it’s just a matter of time. Two have been inducted into the National Gallery of Young Inventors’ Hall of Fame. Twenty-two have earned Siemens Westinghouse finalist or semifinalist awards; seven have Intel Science Talent [...]
Blawging FAQ
Dennis at PatentlyObvious had a post this morning about his blog, its history, stats and content. Similarly, I posted my Tips for prospective blawgers in the same vein last week (for those of you who were on vacation and missed my post…check it out). The two posts, and comments, are the starts of a pretty [...]
IP Blogs clean up at the 2004 Legal Blogging Awards
Dennis Kennedy named “The Intellectual Property Blogs” the “Best Legal Blog Sectors” in his 2004 Legal Blogging Awards. Being one of the IP Blogs…I couldn’t agree more. IP Blog Sector President Marty Schwimmer’s The Trademark Blog took home the “prize” for Best Practice-Specific Legal Blog. See Dennis’ post for the details.
More invention promotion company complaints filed
The USPTO Independent Inventors site has been updated recently with the complaints from a number of inventors against invention promoters/promotion firms.

Tips for prospective blawgers
As the year winds down (and I approach my 1 year anniversary blogging), I thought I’d offer a few tips for attorneys who are thinking about blogging. I (and probably every other blogger) frequently get the same questions asked by other attorneys considering blogging…so why not create a post on the topic? I’ll also leave [...]
New (to me) Kid on the Blawgk
I was surfing around the other day for an old law school buddy of mine (Keith Good)…and found his blog! I had no idea he was blogging (he’s even been blogging longer than me). I thought I might give his blog a mention…please forward its link to anyone you know who might find it interesting.

IP Speakers
I am the CLE Chairman for our state bar’s (Idaho) IP Section. I’m always looking for interesting speakers on IP topics for CLEs. If you are interested, let me know. The state bar won’t allow me to pay an honorarium…but I can arrange for airfare, hotel, etc. Winter’s a good time for skiing on our [...]

Click on THIS LINK and vote for fellow blawger Matt Homann for an “Influential and Important Legal Thinker†award. It takes about 10 seconds to do so. If you want the scoop…see this Homann post.

Conference calls…the bane of an attorney’s existence
I’ve been participating in Matt Homann’s “Think Tank Tuesday” for a few months now, and it has been a great way to meet some really interesting people. One of them has been fellow blogger Zane Safrit at Conference Calls Unlimited. Conference Calls Unlimited is kind enough to provide the TTT group with a free telephone/web [...]
