Domain names...careful what you register

TechKnowledgeBlog reminds us to be careful when picking domain names, lest your Lumbermans Exchange becomes Lumerman Sexchange.

Awesome new electronic filing system let's you file PATENTS electronically....

Wow..the new EFS-Web system from the Patent and Trademark Office is really impressive.  Finally, an electronic filing solution that's really a solution...and not just an additional problem.

There's one apparent feature of the system that has gone unnoticed, though.  Not only can you file PATENT APPLICATIONS electronically, but, from the looks of the Office web site (see image at right), you can file PATENTS using the same system.

Awesome.  Write it up, and file it.  Patented at the click of a button.  What on earth will they think of next.

(OK, call me a stickler if you want...I won't complain.  I'd buy the Office dozens of copies of my favorite grammar book if I could).
