Thank you to those of you who have made a legitimate link to this site with a trackback. I appreciate the interest and am happen to send others your way. Lately, however, I've been flooded with trackbacks to diet pills and online casinos. I have nothing personal against such things, but I doubt they are really interested in my content or that my readers are interested in theirs. As a result, I will no longer be able to offer trackback notifications on this site. I apologise for the inconvenience. more »

on Fri 01 Apr 2005 01:58 PM EST

Trademark lawyers who had never previously been online now routinely deal with ACPA claims and UDRP disputes. Please share your thoughts. What do you think are the key effects of the Internet on Trademark Law? more » |
