A bit about this blog!

Originally I wanted to combine writing about photography and intellectual property law on my photography blog. However, after starting my photography blog I quickly realized that each topic deserved it's own space. So, this is how I got here. Welcome to my Intellectual Property Blog! Here you will find IP information, recent industry developments, IP law, useful links and information as well as links to job postings that I find interesting.

I also would like to take the opportunity to tell you more about me and my IP experiences since the 'About Me' page contains little information. I have been working in the IP industry since 1998. I am not an attorney but have extensive IP knowledge. For the past ten years my focus has been patent prosecution and my positions varied between paralegal and manager levels. It is worth noting that in the past two years I have focused on Trademark and Copyright prosecution as well as IP enforcement rights. Luckily, I have had the opportunity to work for several IP boutiques in NY as well as some of the largest world wide known law firms within their IP departments. Currently, I work in the legal department for one of the largest news organizations.

Please note the disclosure on the bottom of the page. It is imperative for the readers of this site to know that the information found on this web page should not be taken as legal advice and that the opinions displayed here or comments left on other pages do not reflect those of my current or past employers.
