Thirteen years ago today, we began publishing Patent Docs, a weblog that initially focused on recent developments in biotech and pharma patent law, and has since expanded to cover all things patent-related. After thousands of posts and millions of words; after the claims-and-continuation rules debacle; the America Invents Act and all the bills that preceded it; the BPCIA from its enactment to recent interpretation by the courts; Bilski, Mayo, Myriad, Alice, Sequenom, and Athena; Ariad and KSR; Dudas, Rogan, Rea, Kappos, Lee, and Iancu, we have been blessed by our readers and patent law's seemingly inexhaustible number of interesting (and occasionally frustrating) things to write about. We look forward to the future, and having you all with us. Thanks for reading.

Happy Birthday! And keep up the good and valuable work – those of us fighting in the trenches benefit from your insights and concise analyses of often-baffling CAFC (and always-baffling SCOTUS) jurisprudence.

Congratulations to Kevin, Donald, and all at patentdocs. I believe that 13 years for an online blog is 137 years in real time. The insights you’ve provided on court decisions and legislation has been very valuable. I remember covering IP conferences for other publications and the moderators would usually say, “And we have media here. Patentdocs is here”–which is a tribute to your influence. The best of luck for another 13 years–or another 137, whatever.

Congrats!
I can always count on a meaningful legal analysis of the topics that you cover.
While not being as “provocative” as other patent blog sources, the niche you serve is most appreciated!LikeLike

Lucky 13. The substantial amount of work to exhaustively write-up virtually everything newsworthy in the patent arena is humbling. I’m grateful for the education and impressed by the diligence and scholarship displayed. Hope it rolls for many more years to come.
