What Sections and Resources Are Available on IPWatchdog?

IPWatchdog is more than a news site: its navigation shows a mix of editorial content, podcasts, live and virtual events, career tools, and submission channels. The main sections are news and commentary articles, podcasts (IPWatchdog Unleashed and IP Innovators), events and programs (including IPW LIVE, PTAB, AI Masters, Patent Masters, Life Sciences, the Women's IP Forum, and SEP programs), a jobs board called JobOrtunities, and press release and article submission entries. Use the site if you want intellectual property news plus conference, CLE, and community resources in one place; if you only need daily headlines, the article and podcast sections are enough.

News and Commentary

The site describes itself as covering patents, innovation policy, trade secrets, copyrights, and trademarks through news and commentary. The navigation includes Search, Article Submissions, and Submit Press Release, which indicates that articles are both published by the site and accepted from contributors.

• Articles: the core editorial product, spanning the IP topics above.
• Press releases: a separate submission channel for announcements.
• Article submissions: an entry point for outside contributors.

Podcasts

Two podcast programs appear in the navigation:

• IPWatchdog Unleashed
• IP Innovators

Both sit under a Podcasts heading, with a Releases link nearby. If you prefer listening over reading, these are the sections to check.

Events, Conferences, and CLE

This is the largest part of the site. The navigation lists a Calendar, Industry Events, Submit An Event, and a long schedule of IPWatchdog-run programs. Recurring series include:

Supporting pages for these events include Group Discounts, Hotels, Sponsorships, CLE Information, What Others Have to Say, and What Makes IPWatchdog LIVE Different? There is also an IPW Studios section and a Video Archive.

Two awards are listed: the Annual Paul Michel Award and the Annual Pauline Newman Award, alongside The IPWatchdog Masters Hall of Fame.

Jobs: JobOrtunities

The Jobs section explains How JobOrtunities Works and offers Submit a Job Post. Employers can post openings; job seekers can browse them.

Courses and About Pages

• Courses: listed in the main navigation as a learning resource.
• About IPWatchdog, IPWatchdog Team, Contributors, Partners, Contact: background and contact information.
