About
This is the personal blog of Michael Bazeley. I’m the Editorial Director for Electronic Media (otherise known as the “web guy”) at Boalt Hall School of Law at the University of California, Berkeley. Recently, I was employed as Senior Web Editor at the San Jose Mercury News. Before this gig, I was a business and technology reporter at the Merc and the co-founder of SiliconBeat, the Merc’s successful tech and venture capital blog. My co-conspirator, Matt Marshall, left SiliconBeat to launch VentureBeat on his own, and SiliconBeat died. The words here represent my opinions only.

Mike,
You may be interested LegalForce, an online marketplace for intellectual property launched this week.
The site offers a single destination where patents can be bought, sold or licensed. Listing a patent is free.
The marketplace is powered by a professional network for anyone who’s a stakeholder in the IP ecosystem – including inventors, entrepreneurs, IP professionals, attorneys, and investors. The network allows members to connect, share and collaborate with groups, discussion forums, videos, event listings and classifieds.
As well, the site includes a proprietary search engine which delivers contact information for all patent attorneys in the US and many others internationally. Soon, the search engine will also allows users to find and download all U.S. patents, and link to profiles of associated inventors, owners and attorneys.
Check out Berkman Fellow Jim Moore’s blog on the launch.
