Patent Buddy - Social Network for Patent Lawyers and Inventors

-
Patent Buddy - Social Network for Patent Lawyers and Inventors designed to facilitate networking, recruiting, and client development. In addition to professional profiles, Patent Buddy offers three other core services — job hunting, networking, and research. Patent Buddy also provides a career news blog and job posting board. You can search for jobs by location, specialization, education, experience, and job type.

Patent Buddy enables you to create a professional profile in which you can list your qualifications and list patents that you have successfully prosecuted. Because your profile resides on the Web, you can link directly to the patents so that prospective clients or other law firms can review your work.

Patent Buddy offers the ability to discover business development and employment opportunities in your area. The site covers all USPTO-registered patent attorneys and agents, not just members. The site also offers the opportunity for these individuals to create social networks or interest groups. Patent Buddy also allows you to monitor the career moves of other attorneys and agents. You can see their career history and a listing of their current and past colleagues. In addition, you may update your basic profile derived from USPTO records with information on your academic qualifications, specific patent filings, licensing and litigation experience and your publications.
