Can Your IP Team Master Current Practices in 230 Nations and Entities?LexisNexis® Global IP Law Service Gives Them the Tools

Today business is going global—taking their Intellectual Properties counsel with them on a wild ride through new due-diligence, compliance and filing territory. And the new clients walking through the door include:• Afamilybusinessthatneedstoknowiftheirfamilynamecanserveasatrademark

in Netherlands Antilles. Their people already spent hours searching the Internet.• ConsultantsrepresentingcustomersinArgentina.Istherearestrictiononthe

number of domain names a single registrar may have? (By the way, the consulting group tried—in vain— through multiple phone calls to track down answers from Argentinean officials.)

• Industrialdesignersfromoneofyournewcorporateclientswhoareinterested in obtaining a U.S. design patent. Will it be subject to annual maintenance fees? How about if they apply in Germany?

The LexisNexis Global IP Law Service can tell you this and much more, providing comprehensive coverage of global IP law—IP practice and proceedings, IP legislation and regulations, and current news updates—from more than 230 nations and entities, such as The Isle of Man. Gain access to all resources found at GlobalIPLawService.com, plus global domain name practice, proceedings and legislation.

And it’s all at lexis.com®. Just select Search Global IP Law Service on the NEWS & BUSINESS tab. (Links are also now available in the Patent Law, Trademark Law, Copyright Law, International Trade and other Area of Law menus.)

This is the world’s most extensive English-language online resource of national IP laws and international agreements. (More than 1,800 are available). It’s organized on a country-by-country basis rather than a topical basis, making research fast.

And easy. You can even use many LexisNexis ease-of-use features. For example, click Search Global IP Law Service and select Global IP Law Trademarks Legislation. Enter a natural-language search: Can a family name serve as a mark in Netherlands Antilles?

Or select Global IP Law Domain Names and enter: In Argentina, are there restrictions on how many domain name registrations a single registrar may have?

LexisNexis Global IP Law Service finds the information quickly, saving the customer time and resources. That makes your organization a good value.

LexisNexis Web 2.0 Law Centers: A Librarian’s Perspectiveby Bridget MacMillan, LexisNexis Senior Librarian Relation Consultant

When you begin a research project, do you search the open Web? About 74% of researchers begin either on the open Web or through their organization’s information portal.1 To assist you, LexisNexis created free, Practice-Area Web centers that surface when you search the Web. For example, as I wrote this, I searched “insurance law center” on Google, and the LexisNexis Insurance Law Center is the first result. http://law.lexisnexis.com/blogs/Insurance

What are LexisNexis Web centers, and How are They Different from the LexisNexis Services? The goal of these Web centers is to create communities for practitioners. The sites are built upon Web 2.0 technologies, including:

• blogsanddiscussions• expertcommentary• emergingissues• RSSfeeds• Podcasts

To save you time and direct you to the most appropriate resources on the LexisNexis services, there are groupings of links to the best sources for that practice area.

When you gain access to the LexisNexis Insurance Law Center, for example, the familiar LexisNexis logo is in the upper left corner. The page is laid out systematically, with content listed, boxed and titled so that you can easily navigate the page.

Within the Expert Forum are full-text commentaries on many topics specific to that each practice area. On the Insurance Law Center, there are currently 18 topics covered, including Climate Change/Insurance, Industry Trends, and Sub-prime Lending.

Delve deeper into the Insider Perspective Blog, and you will find the most recent posts, but you can also explore the blog through the 21 topics it covers, like Advisory Board Perspective, Legal Blogging (Insurance), and Worker’s Compensation. Some of the topics are duplicative of the topics in the Expert Forum, but some are different.

The blog differs from the Expert Forum because it is the place for community members to share news or commentary, not necessarily an expert’s analysis. You can share what’s on your mind or what you are observing in your field. It can be a very personal post, as you can see from this one at the right:

Legal Blogging (Insurance)3/11/2008 7:05:26 p.m. ESTThe Way I Drink ItPosted by Tom Hagy VP LexisNexis

So I am having a cup of coffee at Starbucks and in a dubious moment of consciousness (I am not a morning person; I am not even an afternoon person) I noticed a feature on the cup that’s probably been around for 10 years: Starbucks’ “The Way I See It” series of quotes from famous people. My coffee mates, one live, one virtual (don’t ask) had quotes from Newt Gingrich and Madeline Albright. I had this one from Presumed Innocent author Scott Turow. The Way I See It #271: “The law, for all its failings, has a noble goal—to make the little bit of life that people can actually control more just. We can’t end disease or natural disasters, but we can devise rules for our dealings with one another that fairly weigh the rights and needs of everyone, and which, therefore, reflect our best vision of ourselves.” Nice, huh? Nothing controversial there! Does anyone want to step up and disagree? Agree? Positioned right below the message was Starbucks’ disclaimer: “This is the author’s opinion, not necessarily that of Starbucks.” You know it’s a tough environment when a major corporation, known for coming out with deliciously strong coffee, can’t come out strongly in favor of, say, law. Or, well, justice.

DISCLAIMER: This opinion about how the quote is not the opinion of Starbucks is the opinion of the author and is not necessarily the opinion of LexisNexis or its parent Reed Elsevier. It’s not even an opinion so much as a quasi-humorous observation. The statement that this is more of a quasi-humorous observation and less of an opinion is the opinion of the author; it is not necessarily the opinion or quasi-humorous observation of LexisNexis or its parent Reed Elsevier …

• MatthewBender® treatises: Round out research with world-class titles such as Chisum on Patents, Nimmer on Copyright ®, Gilson on Trademarks®, Milgrim on Trade Secrets® and McGrady on Domain Names.

Elsevier Full-Text Journals—Now 1,000+ at lexis.com®

Now there are more than 1,000 Elsevier Full-Text Journals 3 available through lexis.com, a newly expanded collection covering science, patents and technology; the environment; health and medical issues.

Did your library visitor see a reference to an Elsevier article on blood-borne pathogens in a patent? You can pull the peer-reviewed article—more than the words. Embedded graphics such as charts and illustrations are included for review, download or print. Or link to a PDF 4 of the article you need—no additional search needed.

There’s so much more. Elsevier Full-Text Journals are often cited in patents by the inventors and are key to prior-art investigations. You can also provide organization leaders with expert analysis on new economic and technological theories.

And for litigators, it’s a bonanza—directing you to lead thinkers (or opposing viewpoints). You can pull all expert writings, uncover links among experts, identify leading studies, discover mitigating conditions and determine reasonable standards for the time period.

These are highly technical resources. But that doesn’t mean they are difficult to research. As your organization’s information expert, keep in mind:

• ElsevierFull-TextJournalsareconvenientlylocatedthroughoutlexis.com. Find them on the main LEGAL tab page. And within the 54 state and territories pages (right under Search Law Reviews & Journals). This source is even listed under the NEWS & BUSINESS tab.

• LexisNexis® Total Litigator offers easy access to Elsevier journals too. For example, under Gather Intelligence, select Medical Research.

• OrcheckoutthelinkontheLexisNexis Toolbar. The premium collection can be surfaced via Select A Source > Law by Topic then Prior Art/Non-Patent. Your patent researcher can highlight a patent claim, medical or technical term in documents and launch a Boolean or natural-language search directly into Elsevier journals.

Why Should Librarians be Interested in Web Centers? First of all, they are sources of free information which makes them a natural

starting point for research. As the summer associates move through your firm, you can direct them to these centers to increase their comfort and knowledge of that area of law. Associates can quickly grasp an overview of the topics that shape this area of law through the news headlines and expert’s forum.

Second, in addition to the information being freely available, the centers are also the best place to start when looking for information on emerging issues. The Expert Forum and the Insider Perspective Blog can help researchers hone in on a particular issue and the language being used to discuss the issue. This makes constructing additional searches easier.

Third, these centers are also concrete examples of Web 2.0 technologies in practice. They can be a model for building similar sites within a firm or organization. At the very least, by becoming familiar with them, you can expand your knowledge and understanding of Web 2.0 possibilities.

LexisNexis Web 2.0 Law Centers: A Librarian’s Perspective—continued from page 08:051

• Usegroup sources—even practice-area groupings. Or create your own source mix. Search specific document segments. Use LexisNexis SmartIndexing Technology™ terms to pinpoint research.
