Ah... the creation of my first blog. I create this blog for the simple purpose of writing about patent law. As my present practice focuses almost completely on patent prosecution, I spend a great deal of time reading other patent blogs, books, articles, and BPAI, CAFC opinions (not to mention the occasional district court data point). This blog is intended as a means to expand my prolific reading habits into an exercise in legal commentary. As such, the usual caveats apply.
First caveat - nothing written here should be understood by a reader as legal advice. Please consult a patent attorney and not this blog if you have legal questions. I have a job and it is not as your attorney. To restate this idea in a more traditional form - the information in this document is for general information purposes only. Nothing on this or associated pages, documents, comments, or other communications should be taken as legal advice for any individual case or situation. This information herein is not intended to create, and receipt or viewing of this information does not constitute, an attorney-client relationship. Always seek qualified counsel before taking action in reliance on this document.
Second caveat - future employers should realize that this blog reflects a work in progress performed mostly late at night when my mental faculties tend to be handicapped by both fatigue and the occasional glass of wine. I begin this blog during my third year of practice. I am writing as exercise and to improve my own current understanding of the Law. Usus promptos facit. Opinions, grammar, misspellings, overuse of Latin phrases, et al. should be liberally forgiven.
Finally - peers and anyone else with too much time on their hands should feel free to loquaciously respond. Feedback is appreciated.
