IP getting its green on?

Patent and natural resources law may collide more. Wonderful, especially if it makes business sense. See Cincinnati's Patent Baristas, New York's IP Law360, and London's Science Business.

Got proofreading?--Part II

Proofreading may be boring. But it's important, and part of who you are if you are in the business of turning words into money and value. Here's a comment by Minneapolis lawyer T.J. Conley--he gives us wisdom and a tip--in response to yesterday's post:

One of the senior lawyers at our firm used to say that you are only as good a lawyer as you are a proofreader. One of my tricks, to avoid the natural tendency to see what you think should be there, is to read a document backwards. You'd be amazed at what you catch.
