"The diversity and variety of our clients is one of the best things about our practice," explains Scott Johnson, chair of Ober|Kaler's IP group. "Communicating important developments in intellectual property law to people who work in many different fields is challenging. The multi-author format of OberIPwatch.com allows us to address all of our clients' IP concerns, whether they work in science, technology, healthcare, education, media or the arts."
Topics addressed so far on OberIPwatch.com include Michael Jackson's shoe patent; an FTC action against Reebok for false advertising; the recent Old Navy/Kim Kardashian tiff over rights of publicity; updates on the Madrid Protocol; and changes to US patent law under the America Invents Act. Readers may also peek behind the scenes to see the Ober|Kaler IP Group in action at social and community events.
"We encourage readers to send us topics, whether simple, exotic or controversial," says Cynthia Sanders, who serves as the blog's content editor. "It's an interesting time for intellectual property and our readers and clients are out on the edge where IP laws are still playing catch up."
