USPTO News — automatically sent to you

August 29, 2005 on 9:18 am | In USPTO, Weblogs |

Over at rethink(ip) we had a recent post on RSS feeds for USPTO news. One thing we found was that lots of people are interested in the feeds, but few of them have RSS readers.

There are ways to subscribe to blogs (including this one) via email. For instance, I have a subscription box (as do most of the patent blogs) where you can enter your email address and receive a daily email with the day’s posts (if any). See "Subscribe" in the right hand border of this blog.

Over at rethink(ip) we did the same thing…we created a subscription form for our "All USPTO News and Notices" feed.  If you want to subscribe, here’s the "Subscribe box" :

If the blog(s) you want to subscribe to doesn’t make it easy for you by giving you a subscription form…there are a number of different blog RSS to email services out there (other than FeedBlitz):  BlogFlux, Rmail and BlogLet.  To use these services, you typically need to copy the RSS feed from the blog you want to receive email from.  To do that, scan the blog for these magic words (sometimes they are a button/icon):  “XML,” “FeedBurner,” “RSS” and/or “Syndication.”  Once you find the feed (or icon that represents the feed), right click that link/image and select “copy link.”  That link (and it should look something like this:  http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheInventBlog or http://www.ernietheattorney.net/ernie_the_attorney/index.rdf) can then be plugged into one of the above sites (FeedBlitz, BlogFlux, Rmail and/or BlogLet) to allow you to subscribe.  From then onwards, rather than visiting your favorite blogs every day to read them…you can instead check your email inbox for new content.
