Meet the Bloggers VI at IP Business Congress Tonight

Posted on June 23, 2009 by R. David Donoghue

 IP Business Congress 2009 is in Chicago through this afternoon.  Unfortunately, client commitments have kept me from attending as much of the event as I would have liked, but you can see from the following Twitter live microblogs of the event that it was an excellent program:  @DuncanBucknell; @AwakenIP; @IPBC2009; @JackDTodd; and @thinkfireip.  Or check out a search for microblog posts about the event here.  And watch for a few interviews from the event on the Blog over the next few weeks.

And before you leave the IPBC, stop by Meet the Bloggers VI at the world famous Billy Goat Tavern.  The Billy Goat is just down and below the street from the Four Seasons at 430 N. Michigan Avenue.  Go to the Tribune Tower on Michigan Avenue and take the stairs below the sidewalk to find the Billy Goat.  Thanks again to Meet the Blogger creator and Meet the Blogger III host John Welch of the TTABlog for allowing me to use the Meet the Blogger name.

Happy Father's Day from Blawg Review

Posted on June 22, 2009 by R. David Donoghue

Blawg Review #217 is up at Securing Innovation, brought to you by the IP.com team -- click here to read it.  This Review's theme is Father's Day, and it is very well done.  In addition to the heavy IP focus, we learn that although it should be written as plural possessive, Fathers' Day, historically it has been known by the singular possessive, Father's Day.  And it has pictures of many legal blogging fathers and their children, including a shot of me with my father and my son enjoying a Chicago Blackhawks game late this season.  The Review also reminds people to join me at  Meet the Bloggers at the Billy Goat Tavern tomorrow, Tuesday, night after IPBC 2009.

Cheezborger! Cheezborger! No Fries . . . . Meet the Bloggers VI

Posted on June 5, 2009 by R. David Donoghue

IP Business Congress 2009 comes to Chicago in about  two weeks, June 21-23, 2009 -- click here for registration information.  In honor of such an impressive group of IP lawyers coming to Chicago, I am hosting Meet the Bloggers VI on Tuesday evening June 23 starting at 5pm. 

The IPBC is at the beautiful Four Seasons Chicago, but in order to make sure that attendees get a well-rounded taste of Chicago, Meet the Bloggers VI will be held at the world famous Billy Goat Tavern.  The Billy Goat is just down and below the street from the Four Seasons at 430 N. Michigan Avenue.  Go to the Tribune Tower on Michigan Avenue and take the stairs below the sidewalk to find the Billy Goat.  Those who have a long history in the IP blogosphere will remember that the Billy Goat was also the site of Meet the Blogger III (I am on the left side of the second picture).  Also, I want to thank Meet the Blogger creator and Meet the Blogger III host John Welch of the TTABlog for allowing me to use the Meet the Blogger name.

I am not making any promises, but I am hopeful that if you attend you will meet Chicago legal blogging luminaries such as Internet Cases; Chicago Law (an excellent new blog by the Chicago Tribune's Ameet Sachdev); the anonymous Editor of Blawg Review; Cyberlaw Central; and 12:01 Tuesday. and the 271 Patent Blog.
