Networks and IP

Cool Resource of the Week:
AlwaysOn Network - blogging taken to a new level (much more than just ego-stroking; there's a wealth of information here, if you're willing to dig).

Get-Going Goal:
Intellectual property protection is much more than just patenting. Visit the United States Patent and Trademark Office web site or the Canadian Intellectual Property Organization to find out about various types of intellectual property protection for different types of technologies. If the topic fascinates you, the World Intellectual Property Organization's Academy offers a free online primer (or a comprehensive course, complete with exam and certificate) on types of intellectual property protection.
