Patently-O Bits and Bytes No. 305

• Worksharing: Website of the five IP Offices: http://www.fiveipoffices.org.
• GoogleNexis?: Google Scholar now includes judicial opinions and law review articles. [Link] The site does a nice job of ranking opinions according to citation history. However, as with their patent database, Google's caselaw database does not appear to be kept up-to-date. The search features will be useful as a powerful free first-cut, but attorneys will not use the site for any type of comprehensive search or full citation-check. As Law School Librarian Richard Leiter wrote, "I don't think that West or Lexis have much to worry about."
• ABANexis?: If you want to search only law reviews (that are available online), you might look at the ABA's Search Engine (powered by Google). [Link]
• Is the 1981 CCPA case of Rasmussen still good law? [Updated with the right year of the case]
