IP.com Hosting Blawg Review Fathers' Day
We're pleased to be hosting Blawg Review #217 on Fathers' Day 2009.
This is the second time IP.com has hosted Blawg Review on our corporate weblog, Securing Innovation, the first being Blawg Review #179 to mark the anniversary of the invention of the ballpoint pen. A good theme, we thought, for a company blog about managing intellectual property, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets.
But the opportunity to host on Fathers' Day touches many of us here at IP.com, our clients, and readers of this blog in a far more personal way. As the father of three wonderful little girls, it will be a privilege for me to present some of the best law blogs, or blawgs (as they're sometimes called) of this week, with a Fathers' Day theme.
This presentation on Fathers' Day is for all of us, those of us men who are blessed with children, those of us, men and women, who honor our fathers on this day, and women who share parenting with dads of their children, all of whom are invited to contribute to the celebration of fatherhood in Blawg Review #217.
Our presentation will cover a wide range of topics from law blogs, bringing you the best of the best blogs we think you'll find interesting. Befitting the theme for Fathers' Day, we will give special attention and focus on those blog posts that touch on what it means to be a father, or have a father, in our lives.
We're excited about this special opportunity, and look forward to everyone's enthusiastic participation to make this a memorable Blawg Review. To help us put this presentation together for Fathers' Day, we encourage those with law blog posts to submit, with their recommendations or suggestions, a personal photo depicting their own relationships as, or with, a father.
For this presentation, please send to blog@ip.com your own digital images showing what fatherhood means to you, or include a photograph with your post by email following the submission guidelines, and we'll do our best to include all in this special Fathers' Day Blawg Review.
Perhaps you're new to Blawg Review, the carnival of law blogs for everyone interested in law. If you have arrived here to our corporate blog, Securing Innovation, because you share our interests in Intellectual Property, you might be interested in looking at Blawg Review as it has been presented by some of the leading IP law bloggers you are familiar with already.
Stephen Albainy-Jenei hosted Blawg Review #19, #77, and #161 at Patent Baristas.
Steve Nipper hosted Blawg Review #146 at The Invent Blog.
Vickie Pynchon hosted Blawg Review #171 at the IP ADR Blog.
Doug Sorocco hosted Blawg Review #34 at PHOSITA.
Duncan Bucknell hosted Blawg Review #185 at IP Think Tank.
R. David Donoghue hosted Blawg Review #133 and #173 at the Chicago IP Litigation Law Blog.
I'm sure we've missed a few, but no list of noteworthy presentations of this carnival of law blogs by Intellectual Property attorneys would be complete without drawing attention to Colin Samuels, an in-house counsel, who hosted four Blawg Review of the Year award-winning presentations, #35, #86, #137, and #189 at Infamy or Praise. Quite deserving of the praise, everyone agrees.
The bar for these presentations has been set very high by our colleagues in the Intellectual Property community. With their help this time, we'll try our very best to make #217 worthy of the collaboration in a presentation of Blawg Review for Fathers' Day.
Let's make it special.
