Editorial Policy.

Texas IP Law is an independent publication about intellectual property law. It is published by Jason Blackstone, a Dallas attorney, who is responsible for its content. These standards describe how the content is built and kept current.

Primary sources first.

Guides and insights are grounded in the controlling authorities: statutes, regulations, USPTO guidance and decisions, and court filings and opinions. Citations, effective dates, and procedural posture are verified against the official source before publication. Secondary commentary and press coverage are never the sole basis for a statement about what the law requires.

Independence.

Content selection and analysis are independent. Texas IP Law does not accept paid guest posts, sponsored articles, or compensation for coverage.

Keeping current.

Articles are re-checked against current law on a rolling basis, with priority after significant court decisions, USPTO guidance, and legislative sessions. Every article shows its publication date and the date it was last reviewed, and states the date through which the law was checked.

Corrections.

Reported errors are investigated against the primary source, and substantive errors are corrected in the text. To report one, see the Corrections section of the About page.

What this site is not.

Texas IP Law is general information, not legal advice. Reading the site does not create an attorney-client relationship. See the Disclaimer and Terms of Use.
