February 23, 2009Patentanticipation, paidDennis Crouch

Gene Quinn of IPWatchdog has complied the following ranking of "top patent blogs" based on their Technorati.com rating. Technorati rates blogs according to how many other blogs link-back. The actual ranking is not of much use (some of my favorites did not even make the list), but it is nice to have an updated list of sources. Thanks Gene.
