The right side of this page lists the “Blogs I Read.” I actually read a lot more than the few listed there. Those are the blogs I consider indispensable. Last night, I added three: the Chicago IP Litigation Blog, Legal Fixation, and TMBrandingCap.com. Each is updated faithfully and well worth your time.
I kind of consider the Chicago IP Litigation Blog a cousin of this blog because it is written by an IP litigator who focuses on decisions from his jurisdiction, namely, the Northern District of Illinois. He has lots of cases to choose from — the Northern District of Illinois has a more active IP case load than I would have guessed — and R. David Donoghue does a great job separating the wheat from the chaff.
Legal Fixation flags new IP developments no matter what the jurisdiction, including a healthy dose of trademark law. It is co-published by Massachusetts attorneys Matthew Saunders and Aaron Silverstein.
TMBrandingCap.com is a new blog that also is solidly in the trademark camp. As best I can tell, it’s published by the semi-anonymous “AAB,” who must be an attorney because he or she spends a good amount of time keeping up with trademark law happenings. Let’s hope he or she continues to do so.
Finally, I can’t help but note that Marty Schwimmer has been on fire lately over at the Trademark Blog. His coverage of the IPHONE trademark flap has been superb. His posts on January 12 and January 17 are especially worthwhile.
