We are still in the process of recruiting experts to help in the initial stages of editing content. It has been a slow start as in many Internet communities. Additions are not happening. However many experts have shown great interest, logged in and agreed to participate. Indeed we are confident once one addition comes, others will follow.
Moreover, we have made it easy for experts to edit a topic. Each topic has guideline questions as reference. An expert can answer them easily. Of course as experts you are not required to answer all questions. You can even delete the questions you think are not necessary. Also, you can add your own content freely. By adding some simple words you could be listed.
Being listed as expert in ISSCIO is different. If you are a law firm, for example, and you google your firm name, you can see that likely you are already listed in other sites. Most of these sites are professional directories with no information, thus are not appealing to the businessman that wants to get started with, for example, registering a trademark. Likely this businessman will read some basic information and then look for some professional. In ISSCIO he can do both things, and more, in the same page.
We at ISSCIO and at Brights Consulting Inc., our parent company, are very excited of the possibilities of the sites. That is why ISSCIO will be doing introductory presentation during INTA 132nd annual Meeting in Boston. The idea is to meet personally with professionals and show them the advantages of the site and how simple it is to edit and start participating.
If you are an expert please come and join us May 25th, from 1pm to 6pm (starting at 30 minute intervals) at the Boston Seaport Hotel, Room A. 20 minutes can help you get started with ISSCIO and find out how to get the Internet exposure you deserve.
We are looking forward to meeting with you.

Building Content
ISSCIO.com has been online for three weeks now.
We are however in the process of building content. We are yet to make a public launch to promote the site among potential users. We know the benefit of ISSCIO is the knowledge that is being shared. Therefore we have started contacting potential experts to introduce the system and encourage them to participate. When we introduce the system to experts we use anonymous sample names so you may see some false names at present.
If your are an expert, ISSCIO is a way to get exposure on the Internet. Nevertheless, contrary to other professional directories or Internet advertisement, ISSCIO does not charge you anything. We just ask you to contribute some knowledge. In this way you earn the right to be listed in the ISSCIO "Top Experts" lists. Even adding simple information that is already widely available on the Internet will help you to be listed.
But ISSCIO is not just another Internet list of professionals. It provides basic information sorted by topic. Users can have all basic questions answered in one place and they also have a list of experts in that topic for when the need to contact an expert arises. All in the same page. Thus, for users such as companies doing businesses in different locations, ISSCIO is a useful source of information and experts.
Moreover, ISSCIO goes beyond and allows experts and users to interact with each other. Experts can know which topics are high in demand, which are the most common questions and can therefore prepare accordingly. Users can evaluate experts after interacting with them and can choose the expert they will do business with.
We have started small and with almost no content. Wikipedia also had few pages and few contributors (and a lot of skeptics) in its early stages. Today it is the first source of encyclopedic information on the Internet with thousands of people contributing. We believe ISSCIO can be the first source of information in how to do businesses, such as registering a Trademark, and the first point of reference when needing professional help.
So, if you are an expert, you can start helping today by editing the topic of your expertise. It's easy, each topic already has some basic questions which act as a guideline. It may take you a few minutes to answer some of them and start earning points. And since ISSCIO is in pre-launch you will be already listed when users start arriving.
We are looking forward to see you at ISSCIO.com.

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.
