Some Patent and Trade Mark Offices Utilising Twitter

Some Patent and Trade Mark Offices meanwhile have discovered Twitter as a communication tool:

	@uspto	UNOFFICIAL feed of the USPTO's News and Notices Page
	@EPOorg	This is an official Twitter Account focused on the event European Inventor of the Year.
	@dkpto	Danish Patent and Trade Mark Office
	@UKIPO	Welcoming ourselves to the world of Twitter, here at the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO)
	@wiponews	World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)

Time will tell as to whether or not such Twitter feeds will become established communication channels for the Offices. Of interest will be in particular to monitor if the Offices dare to make use of the bi-directionality of Twitter, i.e. if they are willing not only to write their own tweets but also reading those of others.
