Gene Quinn – author of IP Watchdog – spent a good amount of time cataloging and ranking the various patent law focused blogs from around the world. His rankings are based on website popularity and popular influence with three primary inputs: (1) voting by readers; (2) Technorati.com ratings (based on links to the site); and (3) Alexa.com ranking of website popularity. I’m happy that Patently-O received the top rank. However, I encourage you to check-out the other blogs on the list. I read about 15 of them on a regular basis. Thanks Gene.

Amazing that spam is creeping in even here – “Fred”
Ranking of patent law blogs is a wonderful activity. It is one of the unique ways to increase the professional and personal knowledge in the field of IP. Ranking of blogs, by way of voting, this shows that there are no manipulations while ranking the blogs, as most of the visitors are serious readers. It also helps the blog writers to improve themselves in all respects. Blog writers are in a good position to write the blogs well since they understand the requirements for a high ranking blog. Blog content is vital for survival; PatentExpress is a site that was recently launched and which has thousands of Q&A’s answered on its site. This may help many budding IP blog writers out there
Shouldn’t

be in position 13 or 16?
Patently-O is certainly deserving of the top rank. After the top ten, the rest of the rankings are as accurate as the “writers poll” for NCAA teams. There are several sources of rankings, and few in agreement (after the top 5).
Patentsbyfrip.com has no following and thus no ranking. If you’re interested in the business methods patents issue and the Bilski decision, however, it might be worth checking out.
Congratulations on your ranking.
Although I suspect that, as in most things, such rankings could be manipulated. Most practitioners have little enough time to spend looking at, at best, a handful at any given time. I confess that I have not checked out all of the ones in the ranking, but may try to do so in the future.

Here is a “dog” to “watch”, note the inventor:

“He has an awfully (and undeservably) high opinion of himself.”
I second. I like to read his blog for the amusement factor alone – no real informational value provided, but it’s always good for a few chuckles.
“Could a watchdog be needed for the watchdog?”
He has an awfully (and undeservably) high opinion of himself.
The most notable aspect of this survey might the the clearly unbiased result: Gene’s blog came in ahead of every other blog except Patently-O.
Could a watchdog be needed for the watchdog?
