About the Author
My name is Kevin A. Thompson, I am an intellectual property attorney in Chicago, Illinois with the firm Davis McGrath LLC. I practice in the areas of domestic and international trademark, copyright, and internet issues. Internet law is my real love, especially how trademarks and copyrights intersect there. The focus of this blog is the digital world, its impact and legal framework. I write about recent issues, cases, and controversies. I also give my general thoughts about the Internet and its impact upon us and our society.

The value of Blogs
As a lawyer, I rely on my digital devices to aid me in my practice. I enjoy learning, and I try to find ways to incorporate that into my routine. As an example of how this works in my daily life, here is what happened last Friday:
1) Kevin J. Heller posted at his Tech Law Advisor blog, the “Broadcast Flags” case decison came down just that day. (Thanks for the quick post, Kevin!)
2) I followed the link to the decision, and downloaded it in PDF.
3) I synched the PDF to my Palm.
4) I was then able to read the decision on my Palm while commuting (via the train.)
Total elapsed time in having this hot off the press opinion in a readable format was less than five minutes.
The internet is a wonderful tool, and being capable of timeshifting continuing legal education materials is a godsend.
