IPKat is a law blog founded in June 2003, and dedicated to intellectual property law (IP).[1][2] In 2008, it was reported as being "one of the best-known and most successful of all law blogs".[1]
The content comprises of news of recent judicial rulings, decisions of patent and trade mark granting authorities, primary and secondary legislation, practice and procedural notes and recent publications, together with comments where appropriate.
A feature of the blog is the expression of opinions through the often contrasting observations made by two fictional cats, the IPKat himself and his female companion Merpel. A third feline, the AmeriKat, analyses IP developments in the U.S.[3]
The contributors to the IPKat weblog are Jeremy Phillips, Birgit Clark, David Pearce, Mark Schweizer, Annsley Merelle Ward (a.k.a. "the AmeriKat")[2], and Neil J. Wilkof. [4] Johanna Gibson stepped down in January 2009. [5]
In July 2005, IPKat was named in Managing Intellectual Property magazine as one of the 50 most influential people in the IP world. [6] Jeremy Phillips, founder of IPKat, launched the Managing Intellectual Property magazine and sold it to Euromoney Publications in 1991. [7] In August 2008, IPKat was voted top of the 'IT law and governance' category in Computer Weekly magazine's 2008 IT blog awards.[8] In January 2010, the United States Library of Congress selected the IPKat for inclusion in its historic collections of Internet materials related to Legal Blawgs.
