One great resource I haven’t plugged in a while is the PatentLawPractice Yahoo Group which is moderated by patent attorney Stephan Kinsella. Right now, topics discussed include: (1) filing assignments in provisional patent applications; (2) marketing tips for new solo patent attorneys; and (3) the “a J.D. is not a doctorate degree” debate (Stephan would love to hear from anyone who has graduated from SMU law about whether their dipoloma includes the word “doctorate” or not).
[Stephan, about 6 months ago, taunted me for listing (in my law firm bio) my degree as being a "Juris Doctorate." Upon further review...my diploma actually reads "Juris Doctor" (I admitted I was in error and the web page was soon corrected). If you want the full scoop on the Doctor v. Doctorate issue...check out the posts in the Yahoo Group.]
