Intellectual Property Day at isen.com (Reg. U.S. Pat. & Tm. Off.)

The United States Patent and Trademark Office officially registered the isen.com mark No. 2,788,689 on December 2, 2003. I've begun to use the "circle R" on the isen.com domain.

In addition, I've begun to use a Creative Commons license with my blog and website. Cory Doctorow recently explained to me why using a Creative Commons license is a good idea. He explained that a general statement like this
Redistribution of this document, or any
part of it, is permitted for non-commercial purposes,
provided that the two lines below are reproduced with it:
Copyright 2003 by David S. Isenberg
isen@isen.com -- http://isen.com/ -- 1-888-isen-com
probably protects my work from uses I wouldn't want to see, but a Creative Commons license goes further, because it (a) publicizes the idea that you can reserve SOME rights, and (b) contains machine-readable code that registers my works as belonging to this larger body of works that do not have ALL rights reserved.
