To paraphrase Chicago Bulls legend, Michael Jordan, Patent Docs would like to announce that we are back! A few of our readers have noticed that it has been awhile since we last posted, and you may have noticed that there were a few “issues” with the way Patent Docs appeared on your browser earlier this month (see screenshot below) – as well as a few differences with the way the weblog currently appears on your browser.

These issues and differences are due to a change in the software that we use to maintain the weblog. Since Patent Docs began publishing on October 22, 2006 – and up until today – we had been using the TypePad blogging platform. Unfortunately, TypePad announced last month that it was shutting down, effective September 30, 2025, and that bloggers would have to export their content or permanently lose that content. We have therefore moved Patent Docs to the WordPress blogging platform, and note that it may take some time before we have adjusted the settings so the weblog looks somewhat like it looked on TypePad. So we ask that you please pardon our “dust” while we get used to the new digs.
