The IPKat's 10th birthday: join our celebration!


It's hard to imagine that a whole decade has passed since the IPKat, shortly to be followed by Merpel, first poked his nose into the blogosphere -- but that's the truth. And now, on Wednesday 12 June, the IPKat's current blogging team, together with some names and faces from the past, invite you to join them in a celebration.

This event will take the form of an afternoon seminar on IP and the Social Media, a topic that is both timely and relevant to bloggers, tweeters and other contributors to the social media.

This event is kindly hosted in the lovely and capacious London office of Allen & Overy LLP (Annsley the AmeriKat's firm), which you can find here.

This is what the programme looks like:

  1. Ah, I won't be able to come to this, but I'll look out for the tweets. Have a great party.

  2. Why don't you arrange a live Internet streaming for those unable to attend and for the Kat's many overseas fans?

  3. Possibly a bit late to be seen on this particular post, but will there be a dress code?

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.
