Many of the nation’s top law firms, corporations, and government agencies have continued to post their patent positions with us and find top candidates for nearly ten years now.

Patently-O Blog: Terms of Use and Disclaimer

Updated September 6, 2024

These Terms of Use are a binding contract between you and Patently-O LLC (PO). They contain the rules and restrictions that govern your use of Patently-O products and services (referred to below simply as “Patently-O”). If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding these Terms, please contact us at dcrouch@patentlyo.com.

If you’re agreeing to these Terms on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to agree to these Terms on behalf of that organization and bind them to these Terms (in which case, the references to “you” and “your” throughout this document refer to that organization or entity).

The particular terms of use are simple:

  • We are providing you with access to the Patently-O blog, regularly hosted at https://patentlyo.com/.
  • No Warranties: This site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. While we endeavor to keep everything correct and running smoothly, it will not always happen.  PO and Dennis Crouch particularly disclaim all warranties, including merchantability and fitness.
  • Posting Content: If you post content (typically via guest post or comments), do not violate anyone else’s rights.
  • Limited License: By posting content, you provide PO with a fully paid up perpetual license to copy, display, rework and distribute the content in various forms.  You still own any copyright to your content.
  • Scraping: You agree not to allow or cause any robotic scraping of the site without express permission from PO
  • Copyright: The material here is copyrighted. As a subscriber, you have the right to access the content.  You can also distribute short snippets or, occasionally, entire posts, to non-subscribers.  However, you may not post the content online or share it widely without written permission from PO. Our main concern here is that we don’t want to undermine the subscription setup.
  • Filtering: As a general matter, Patently-O often tries to make reasonable and good faith attempts to remove content that we deem problematic. However, our filters are far from perfect. PO does not accept any responsibility for poor filtering.  If there is content that needs removed, please contact us and we will likely pull it from the site.
  • No Sharing Accounts: Each subscriber is an individual, and you are not permitted to share your account with others because that undermines the subscription model.
  • Limitation on Liability: To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, under no circumstances and under no legal theory shall PO or Dennis Crouch be liable to you or to any other person for any damages of any kind in any amount greater than the great of (1) $100 and (2) the amount you paid to us in connection with the prior 12 months subscription.
