BlawgReview: ZAPATOS! The Doctrine of Foreign Equivalents Blog

By Marty Schwimmer

In honor of the INTA Annual Meeting, I was asked to host Blawg Review this week (neither me nor Blawg Review having learned his lesson the last time). Once there were so few IP blogs, the name THE TRADEMARK BLOG was available. Now, there are so many, one of the few names left is ZAPATOS! The Doctirne of Foreign Equivalents Blog!!

If you do want to start a new IP blog, I would be happy to search and clear the name for you. Here are some of the names that are taken:

SORT OF DESCRIPTIVE

Pam Chestek's Property, Intangible which, I think, under-appreciated.
If I didn't link to Likelihood of Confusion, Ron would only link to it in the comments anyway.
Tech and Marketing Law by Prof Goldman.
Current Trademark Legal Literature
Nolo's Patent, Copyright & Trademark Blog
Internet Cases by TWiL co-host Evan Brown.

SMUSHED TOGETHER

TTABlog. I don't read it but I do call up John Welch everyday and ask him legal questions. Really incisive coverage of the temperature this week.
43(B)log

COINED OR ARBITRARY

DuetsBlog
IPKAT: certainly one of the better source of illustrations of cats and cat-puns.

VERY ARBITRARY

Some of Ron's stuff.

SUGGESTIVE

Counterfeit Chic
Beauty Marks

SCANDALOUS

SURNAME ISSUES

By the way, if you check up on Bill Platry's blog

GEOGRAPHICALLY DESCRIPTIVE (Unregistrable but shrewd SEO-wise)

The Australian Trade Marks Law Blog (which is written by a platypus),
The German Trademark Law In A Nutshell,
Pittsburght Trademark Lawyer
and the Law Vegas Trademark Attoreny.
AFRO-IP
Chicago IP Litigation Blog

What with all the receptions I've been attending this weekend, it's very possible that I've left your trademark-oriented blog off this list. Email me and I'll be happy to add you, unless you're one of the two guys who are clearly attempting to rip me off.
