America-Israel Patent Law Blog

In a previous post I stated that the Israel PTO did not use its regular email subscription list to inform people about its recently-held "roundtable" on possible "ethics rules" for patent practitioners.  Turns out I was wrong on that score, and I apologize for that.  I discovered last night that the email account I usually use stopped receiving emails via the ILPTO subscription list about two months ago.  (There's another account I have to which those emails are also sent, which is how I discovered the source of the problem, but I check that account infrequently.)  I'm not sure why I stopped getting the emails at my regular account, but I promptly re-subscribed.  If you're supposed to get emails from the Israel PTO but haven't received any lately, maybe you should re-subscribe.

FWIW, I still smell a rat with the process for adopting these "ethics rules", but that's for a future post.
