Seattle Trademark Lawyer

On Jan. 15, yours truly will host what I hope will become an annual event — the Seattle Law Blogger Meetup. The event is intended for local law bloggers to socialize and discuss the blogging experience. The agenda is open, but I personally want to hear what my fellow law bloggers have to say about the following:

• Why do you blog?
• What goals do you have?
• What’s been your most rewarding experience?
• What’s been your biggest disappointment?
• What’s been your biggest challenge?
• How did you overcome it?
• If there is anything you could change about your blog, what would it be?
• Where do you see legal blogging going in the future?

Of course, I’m also interested in learning new tips on developing new content, expanding readership, avoiding problems in court, and maintaining law firm support.

Based on RSVPs, it looks like we’ll have a good turnout, including many from my “Seattle Law Blogs” blog roll:

• Venkat Balasubramani of Spam Notes;
• Sarah Bird of the Daily SEO Blog; 
• Eric Chiappinelli of Cases and Materials on Business Entities;
• Dan Harris of the China Law Blog;
• Bill Marler and Suzanne Schreck of the Marler Blog;
• Larry Munn and Jeffrey Vicq of Vancouver, BC’s Canadian Trademark Blog;
• Kevin O’Keefe of Real Lawyers Have Blogs;
• Jill Pugh of the Employment Law Blog;
• Michael Rice of Coderights;
• Mark Walters of the Washington State Patent Law Blog; and
• Mary Whisner of Trial Ad (and other) Notes.

I really can’t wait to tap into this collective wisdom. I hope to share some of what I learned in my next post. Advance thanks to Eric Goldman, organizer of the Bay Area Blawgers Meetup, whose great idea for this event I, uh, borrowed.
