IP is such a broad field, but there is not one bit where I could say "I could not care less", although I have my preferences. And that is due to the clear and concise reporting that you either wrote or oversaw.<br /><br />I think you said what you were going to study in future as a retiree during yesterday's conference that I was fortunately able to experience at a distance. No doubt your sharp mind and sense for historical detail will enable you to contribute and distinguish yourself among your new peers.<br /><br />With my best wishes for you,<br /><br />This Time AnonymousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-66045274034780124732015-11-27T11:01:32.776+00:002015-11-27T11:01:32.776+00:00The clearest "acte clair" in the IP Worl...The clearest "acte clair" in the IP World is that Jeremy is indispensible.

I also remember approximately 6 months later - at a different firm, of course - coming into contact with you at an event and you reigniting a spark. Since that point you have supported me, given me opportunities and reminded me so many times of the fact that this is a true community. Just as yesterday when you encouraged those in the room to look out for the one on their own and make them welcome, you did that for me.<br /><br />As I said to you yesterday, you have been the hub to so many nodes, and the community as a whole and so many of its individuals owe you an enormous debt of gratitude.<br /><br />I know that this blog, your colleagues, your students and and your fellow bloggers are an extended family that you love very much, and I hope that occasionally you will put your head around the corner and see the work you have done continuing to germinate the community.The iPuffinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-1976241220048259792015-11-27T09:44:11.317+00:002015-11-27T09:44:11.317+00:00Thank you for years of top-quality munchies.
