My recent story about Ebert’s use of his "Two Thumbs Up" has been receiving a lot of attention (and I even scooped the Sun-Times):

• Likelihood of Confusion — Ron Coleman agrees with E. Leonard Rubin, interviewed in the Chicago Tribune today, who says that the written "Two Thumbs Up" mark is pretty strong.
• Robert Feder of the Chicago Sun-Times — Feder says that the "Two Thumbs Up" mark is "the most powerful and influential symbol in movie marketing."

The fact that the Patent Reform Act has stalled in Congress, which I discussed earlier this week, has been picked up by several blogs:

• Maryland IP Law Blog — Citing my post.
• Patently-O — Dennis Crouch says that the Patent Reform Act is not just stalled, it is dead.
• 271 Patent Blog — Leads with a great Simpsons’ quote in saying the Act is on hold.
