A bit more than a year of effort as a CEO of a battery charging startup has taken me away from this blog. It was, and remains, an incredible journey.

This blog is back in town!

Welcome to the New Home of the IP Asset Maximizer Blog!
This blog has been in existence since March 2008, and there is content going back to then on this new site. For those who have been regular readers of this blog, I hope you enjoy the new format. For new readers, I hope to engage with you frequently about the topics discussed here. The blog is built on the Wordpress platform. There will probably been minor tweaks here and there as I gain skills with this product. Please feel free to tell me if there is something that can be improved or to suggest a topic that you would like me to write about. I will be upgrading my other websites soon, so be on the lookout for changes there, too.
About the IP Asset Maximizer Blog
Readers will note that much of this blog was added in bulk during July 2008. This content was authored by me over the course of several months when I was associated with another organization. Since I have established my own IP Strategy and Consulting firm (more info here: www.jackiehutter.com), I look forward to posting new content at this location frequently. Please contact me at jackiehutter@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like to suggest ideas for new blog posts.
