This post is a little bit off-subject; but, I thought I would mention it anyway since I think it would be of interest to patent attorneys. Malcolm Gladwell is an interesting author who writes for the New Yorker and has had some very successful books in recent years, such as Blink, The Tipping Point, and Outliers. He often writes about innovation. In looking at his web site on Friday, I noticed that he had written an article for the New Yorker back in May of 2008 about Nathan Myhrvold of Intellectual Ventures. You can find this article [Link] and other articles on his website at www.gladwell.com .
I also noticed that Mr. Gladwell’s site says that he is available as a guest speaker. For those planning future AIPLA, ACPC, ABA, etc. meetings, he might make for an interesting speaker.
