I need a favor from my readers. HELP!
I’ve got a close friend who has Fortune 50 IP management experience (including managing the business side of litigation, generating IP, building IT infrastructure inside legal departments, raising the patent ranking (number of issued patents) of said big company by 15 places, etc.) that is looking for a job.

Anyone know of any open IP Manager jobs?
PCT Deadline Calculator
Did you know there is an on-line PCT Time Limit Calculator at the WIPO site?
RSS Feeds: Do you have my most current?
Someone mentioned to me earlier that my RSS feed was showing my old blog name “”Necessity’s Progeny – Nipper’s Blog” I double checked the feed and determined that the name was right, but he must be using the old feed. I told him I had discussed this issue recently (but he missed it). He said I [...]
Parole for blogs in my probation folder
A while ago I blogged on how I use a "probation folder" in my RSS aggregator to control RSS overload. I still use the system…it works great for me. That post was actually picked up by a number of big name blogs…as well as other legal bloggers.
Well…seeing that I am now up to 150 blogs [...]
PCT Alerts: email notices of published PCT Applications
Interesting service sent in by a reader: “PCT Alerts, a free e-mail alerts service for people wanting to keep watch on publication of PCT Patents! Upon registering, you will receive an email alert as soon as the requested PCT Patent is published by WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization).”
Protecting your photos on the Internet
Exposure blog on “How Much Can You Protect Your Photographs on the Internet?”
Oddly, filing a copyright application was not mentioned as one of the points.
And why might you want to file a copyright application??? Cutting through the legalese, legal remedies if you don’t file a copyright application before infringement/within 90 days of “publication”: [...]
Patent Downloads: Esp@cenet
FYI…via a reader:
For some little while now esp@cenet (http://ep.espacenet.com/) has allowed downloading of full patent copies. When you have found the patent you want, click on the ‘original document’ tab, and you get an option ’save full document’ in red.

Patent Downloading Guide Update: Citation Bridge
My Patent Downloading Guide has been updated with this reference (which I mentioned previously):
Citation Bridge™. “A free search utility lets you look up forward and backward U.S. Patent Citations (also called U.S. Patent References) on an individual patent and search back and forth through citation generations. Find out who’s citing your patents and whom your [...]
USPTO’s new electronic filing system is Mac friendly (unlike previous versions)
One thing I didn’t mention regarding the new EFS-Web system…it is Mac friendly. I’ve been told that Apple worked with the USPTO to make sure it happened. That is great news for Mac wielding patent attorneys/agents everywhere. One cool feature of Mac’s OS-X is that “print to PDF” is built into the operating system…no need [...]
