Gene Quinn over at IP Watchdog, a very good patent-related blog, is running a poll to find the top patent blog here. The poll happens to have a fairly exhaustive list of the patent and IP-related blogs out there, including some I was not aware of, so you may want to check them out.
I think Patents101 has a few votes, but I am sure Patently-O will be the landslide winner- it gets my vote. However, Patently-O is a practitioner-centered blog. It is indispensable for a practitioner like me, particularly the data analysis that is performed there on patent-related statistics that do not seem to be available anywhere else. However, I am not sure how much interest it holds to the layperson.
I wish the poll had more questions, for example asking for the geographic location and practitioner/academic/student/layperson status of the voter. Then the results could be broken out for a more meaningful comparison of blogs that fulfill different niches. Nevertheless, please vote if you are so inclined and if not, check out the results when they come at the end of June and get some ideas for other good sites to frequent.
