"How to Find a Good Patent Lawyer"
Inc. has a post on the topic of finding a good patent lawyer which begins with text:
Filing for a patent with the U.S. government is just one step along that road [of protecting an idea], but it is a crucial step. For that purpose, you'll want to work with a well-known and effective patent lawyer.
Within the advice:
Once you have a short list of qualified attorneys, conduct a Google search on each of them. Look for clues to their reputation; quotes to the press, which will indicate how a lawyer may represent you; and a sense of workload. If a lawyer is tied up with a large or ongoing case, you may want to pass on him or her. If you want to dig even deeper, call your state Bar Association and ask whether the lawyers you are considering remain in good standing, and confirm the background you've found them to have.
A search on Google on 26 Feb. 2010 gave about 246,000 hits for +"Lawrence B. Ebert". The number does vary. The first hit was to IPBiz; the fourth to INTERSECTION OF SCIENCE AND LAW; the fifth to lexmonitor, which was hopelessly out of date.
On the second page of the google search was a link to patents.com
On the fourth page of the google search was a link to WHAT THE STORY OF THE INVENTION OF THE TRANSISTOR TEACHES US ABOUT 21ST CENTURY PATENT PRACTICE .
On blawgsearch on 26 Feb., IPBiz was ranked 60th overall, and second on IP to IPKat (#51); however, for the MONTH of February 2010, IPBiz was ranked 24th overall and first in IP [IPKat #40].
