Season's greetings

The IPKat, together with Merpel and the rest of the team, would like to take this opportunity to wish all of their readers, correspondents, supporters, critics and comment-posters a pleasant and peaceful end-of-year break and a smooth transition to 2012.

While it is invidious to single out any individuals or groups within the intellectual property community for special mention, an exception is made in favour of

  • the good men and women who serve as members of the judiciary, 
  • those who work for (or is it against?) our interests as officers and employees of the European Commission, 
  • the policy-makers at WIPO, the WTO, international and national IP offices, 
  • the lobby groups whose actions are so often equal and opposite,
  • IP owners, their licensees, infringers and customers

without whom this weblog would have precious little to write about.

"Bless you all", chorus the Kats, "and thanks for your unsolicited expressions of goodwill, most of which will have to go without a personal response because there have been so many of them, but which are all none the less very much appreciated".

  1. The most important person to have been omitted from the list of addressees of seasons greetings is Jeremy, who spends countless selfless hours informing the IP community of the latest developments within a few hours or minutes of publication.I have yet to spot an inaccuracy in his reporting. The IPKat should be presented to Lord Justice Leveson as evidence of ideal news reporting.

  2. I would wholeheartedly agree with that.

  3. If I was Jeremy I wouldn't want to be associated with many of that list.

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.
