Personal notes: (i) IPKat team member Jeremy is going to be very thin on the ground over the next couple of weeks, on account of his holidays, followed by a trip to the Fordham IP Conference. He'll be offline quite a bit, so please go easy on the emails; (ii) a new Kat will be announced on Sunday 1 May, bringing the team up to seven again -- so watch this space ...
Educated and erudite readers of this weblog will no doubt be familiar with the famous banner headlines "Will the last person to leave Seattle/Britain/Ireland/Wherever please turn out the lights". This idea seems to have been the impetus behind an application to register in Ireland the word mark IRELANDS IRISH INDEPENDENCE DAY (No. 2011/00644, here), which covers the following description of services:
Considering that it was announced earlier today, the take-up for the IPKat's Peer-to-Patent seminar on 6 June has been great. We already have over 20 people signed up. If you're thinking of attending -- don't leave it too long to respond.We look forward to having a super crowd ...
Getting ahead with the new technology, the Journal of Intellectual Property Law & Practice (JIPLP) should be able to offer its subscribers the benefits of mobile-optimised online access by the end of this coming June. You can read the details here. The IPKat doesn't know whether other IP journals and publications already offer this, but will be happy to hear from those that do.

| The IPKat has no doubt that the Irish could cope with a nuclear accident -- but could they handle this? |
"I am trying to get an Independence day as a focus point to gather the nation if we should have a problem like Japan or nuclear accident in England we may have to leave Ireland".The Irish Patents Office will be faced with an unenviable task in classifying this description. If anyone has any bright ideas for the appropriate classes or suggested amendments, we're sure they'll be appreciated! [Many thanks to the Kat's friend Niamh Hall, FRKelly, for this gem].

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
