ADVERTISEMENTS

Welcome to the "new" DDIP, complete with updated functionality and a fresh new look. Aside from regularly posted content providing you with updates regarding patent, trademark, copyright, and related intellectual property law information, the DDIP blog now offers additional resource functionality using the links and search boxes on the left-hand column of the blog, including the following:

Patent information: DDIP blog readers may search U.S. patents and published U.S. patent applications, search the MPEP (currently E8r6) and browse the current MPEP resources (E8r6 in HTML, E8r6 and E8r7 in PDF format), search U.S. patent and published patent application assignments, search Title 37 of the CFR, browse Title 35 of the U.S. Code, and browse current USPTO fees.

Trademark information: Readers may search issued U.S. trademarks and pending U.S. trademark applications, search TTAB proceedings, and search USPTO trademark assignments.

Court Opinions: DDIP blog readers may search Federal Circuit opinions since October 2004 (via the Federal Circuit website), search or browse Federal Circuit opinions since July 1995 (via FindLaw), and search U.S. Supreme Court opinions since October 2003 (via the U.S. Supreme Court website).

Additional Statutory References: Links are provided to allow DDIP users to search all titles of the Code of Federal Regulations and the U.S. Code.

In addition, I have also provided a list of other blogs (on the right-hand column) providing you with direct links to additional resources that I personally reference from time to time. Via Yahoo! Babel Fish, you can now also automatically translate DDIP blog content to one of a dozen other languages using the functionality provided lower on the right-hand column of the blog.

Your comments and e-mails are welcome, especially as they may relate to potential improvements to the blog and requests for additional blog functionality. I hope you will like the new look and additional resource material, and as always, thank you for reading the Daily Dose of IP blog and for sharing it with your friends and colleagues.
