ISSCIO in September: Calm, Steady, Improved

The month of September was rather calm and steady for ISSCIO, yet we have got some important patterns that are worth mentioning. One of such patterns is the improvement in ISSCIO content. It was our greatest pleasure to see many editions of Trademark topics by ISSCIO experts. We have received exquisite and complete information that without a doubt will be useful for ISSCIO users and are grateful to those who contributed their time and knowledge!

September editions add to the number of approximately 60 edited topics in the months of June-September. We have also added a couple of new topics, DN and TM South Sudan, a move outlined by creation of the world’s youngest country to date, as well as six topics (DN and TM) of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, Curacao and Sint Maarten. We are looking forward to including experts from these countries to ISSCIO as there are some more adjustments of ISSCIO topics planned in the near future.

Another event of September important for ISSCIO was the presence of a Brights Consulting representative He Yan on the 4th China Trademark Conference. Apart from other responsibilities, Ms.Yan was kindly introducing the concept of ISSCIO to the IP experts present there. She saw a significant interest in ISSCIO among the IP professionals that is already being translated in more expert accounts in ISSCIO.

Last but not least, we are extremely grateful to the experts who have contributed their opinions on the possible improvements in ISSCIO. We greatly appreciate and value your comments and suggestions that without a doubt will be a basis for the further betterment of ISSCIO.

Wishing you all the best of success in your business!

The Heat, the Beat and ISSCIO Growth (ISSCIO in Summer 2011)

As Japan calls to an end its time of summer vacations, exclusively hot weather and numerous summer festivals, ISSCIO team is ready for a busy autumn.

During the summer months ISSCIO was little by little raising its head in terms of visits to the site, number of experts and the overall site popularity. As for the visits, for instance, there was more than 20% increase over the course of July and first weeks of August, which perfectly fitted into the picture of close to 250 % increase in visits since the beginning of this year. We can only congratulate ourselves with such an amazing achievement and thank ISSCIO experts who contributed valuable information to the site.

The second half of August saw a little slow down in ISSCIO activity that we are hoping will increase in the closest weeks.

Using the time of summer vacations, we have conducted some checks of ISSCIO supporting systems.

Our final goal in doing so was a superior quality of communication with the experts through technically better functioning system of communication and more safely preserved database. Armed with the renewed confidence in improved ISSICO, we are stepping into the next phase of its development.

ISSCIO team is wishing you a pleasant start of the autumn and success in your business!
