IP.com's Blog Among Top Patent Blogs

The executives of IP.com Inc. found their company blog, Securing Innovation, today listed among some of the best patent blogs in the world wide web. While it gives us a good measure of pride to be included among those being considered the top patent blogs, it's humbling to be in the company of some of the giants of the intellectual property community, whose blog links are listed below in alphabetical order.

Gene Quinn, at IP Watchdog.com, has painstakingly analyzed the objective rankings by Technorati and Alexa to find these 50 noteworthy patent blogs and is now looking to add the subjective perspective of the intellectual property community, IP blog authors and readers, who are now being given the opportunity for input to help refine the ranking of the top patent blogs on this list by voting here.

Understanding that such a web-based voting procedure has its own limitations and is subject to vagaries, it is still a very commendable thing that Gene Quinn has undertaken, and we applaud his initiative. We share the hope that this friendly "competition" amongst patent bloggers will be of benefit to all in the intellectual property community by shining light on some of the very best of the blogosphere.

If you'd like to copy and paste the list and links from this post and add commentary on your own blog, we'd encourage you to do so. The more blog readers who see this list of patent blogs, the better. We trust that your readers, like ours, will appreciate the links from your blog as well, as we all do. Now go vote!

Turning One and Blogrolling Right Along

It's been about a year now since we started our blog, Securing Innovation, and were given this warm welcome by Victoria Pynchon at The IP ADR Blog. Since then, our readership has grown remarkably, and many have subscribed to this blog's feeds.

Securing Innovation also got a lot of link love when we hosted Blawg Review #179, which highlighted the best of the intellectual property blogosphere while commemorating the invention of the ballpoint pen. We're especially grateful for the generous comments from Victoria Pynchon regarding our relatively new blog.

If we have achieved such heights, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants, and we'd like to acknowledge the support of those bloggers in the intellectual property community who have kindly added a link to Securing Innovation in the blogrolls of their well-regarded blogs.

Without them and many others who have, from time to time, shared our posts with their readers, we could not have had such a successful first year of blogging. It's really been more than we expected.

We've learned a lot and we're continuing to pick things up as we go. And we're adding new features to make this blog even more useful, to us and our readers. More about that in the weeks ahead. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy as much as we do the many useful IP Resources, Tech Blogs, Business Blogs, and IP Blogs that are already linked in the sidebar blogrolls here on Securing Innovation. If you think of others we should link, please let us know in the comments below. Thanks for all your help.
