Intellectual Property Newsletters, new gTLDs, and many more to add to ISSCIO resources

General Manager of ISSCIO, Lucas is busy working on other projects, so i am stepping in to post some updates on the journey of ISSCIO.

The first month of 2011 for ISSCIO was filled with the extensive work on projects related to changes in ISSCIO content and design. ISSCIO popularity as a community IP site is growing steadily.

ISSCIO is working in the direction of expanding its content. As you already know, ISSCIO is increasing the scope of the topics within its Domain Name sphere to include new gTLDs. New gTLD topics are expected to contain complete and useful information about the initiatives of proposed new top level domains, such as .green (dot green), .love (dot love), or .xxx (dot xxx). We are happy to acknowledge that those behind some of the New gTLD initiatives have already edited their topics, including ICM Registry that helped us with .xxx initiative. We are grateful to all those who shared information on ISSCIO and hope for further cooperation.

Another addition to the content of ISSCIO is including of NEWS and LINKS sections on the top of the information about Trademarks and Domain Names in each topic. NEWS and LINKS are expected to become another useful resource of information for ISSCIO users. As such, we are including the links to “Whois” domain name check for each country as well as the links to the governmental IP institutions, trademarks and domain names-related legal documents and many others. We encourage you to include links to your favorite Intellectual Property blogs or Newsletters in the LINKS section.

Related to the collection of links, we are currently working on the RESOURCE AREA within ISSCIO. This area will include a collection of links to useful resources such as Official Trademark Search Pages, IP blogs, IP Newsletters, etc. There will be some changes to design of ISSCIO as well. We are hoping to get your feedback and suggestions on the content and changes to ISSCIO.

As you could see, we are constantly working on the quality and the scope of ISSCIO as a global portal of IP information. At the same time, ISSCIO content relies on your contribution and we would like to once again encourage you to share information: edit topics, send us the links to your favorite blogs and newsletters. We will be happy to upload the information for you in case you would like to send it by mail to us, and upgrade your ranking.

Welcome to ISSCIO

ISSCIO provides its users with easy access to the right information and the right expert. Users can search for topics by expertise and location; for example 'Trademarks in Canada'. ISSCIO is a convenient way to find up to date information provided by the professional community and interact with featured experts on the spot. All for free.

So this week we start to make ISSCIO available at isscio.com and the above are our objectives as a community. We believe that sharing knowledge unites and that bringing together local experts and companies will bring benefits to both parties and make our "imperfect information market", well, a little more perfect.

ISSCIO is actually the initiative of Brights Consulting Inc., a Japanese consulting firm specialized in brand protection. So initially we start in the realms of Intellectual Property, trademarks and domain names, but believing that we can expand to more topics; topics that require interacting with professionals on the spot.

Think of a small company trying to go through a foreign legal system and on top of that trying find the right professional to get help from. ISSCIO is here to bring together that small company and a community of experts around the globe.

Welcome to ISSCIO.
