The E-Commerce Law [1] blog has served up an amazing “50 Stars of the Blawgosphere” Independence Day Blawg Review #167 [2]. In the review, one important or influential legal blog or blogger from each of the 50 states is represented as five-pointed stars on the Flag — Patent Baristas is honored with carrying the Ohio Star — in the order in which their state ratified the United States Constitution or was admitted to the Union.
Some noteworthy Stars include Drug and Device Law [3], which has a collection of all of the cases addressing whether patients who allege no physical injuries may bring products liability claims against the manufacturers of drugs or medical devices [4].
In addition, Useful Arts [5] discusses “how trademark, copyright, privacy, and politics shape the Web.” While dense, Patently-O’s [6] piece by Michael Martin [7] details how patent suits are about more than money in “Reigniting the Engine of Growth with the Sparkplug of Invention [8].”
If you have the time, we really recommend that you review the Word of Employment [9] blog’s take on “Bearing Arms in the Workplace [10]” by John Phillips. He sums it up thusly:
Some will say that the group rejoicing most over the Supreme Court’s recent Second Amendment decision is the so-called gun rights group. They’re wrong. The group rejoicing most is the legal profession. Lawyers have been given a new line of work that will run for decades, maybe another 200 years. I’ve always had the highest respect for the U.S. Supreme Court.
