Gene Quinn has done some great work in developing a list of the top 50 patent blogs at IPWatchdog, based on a combination of objective and subjective criteria — click here to read the post.  With all of the usual caveats about the value of top blog lists and competitions, I am proud that the Chicago IP Litigation blog came in at number 28 and the top regional US patent blog.  I am honored to be among the top regional patent blogs, including Washington State Patent Blog, California Biotech Blog,* and Georgia Patent Law.  I am also proud to be among the numerous Chicago patent blogs that made the list, including Patent Docs, Orange Book Blog and the 271 Patent Blog.
