Back After a Longish Hiatus from Blogging

First things first- since the year’s barely 3 weeks old, I think it isn’t too late to wish all our readers a very Happy and Prosperous New Year! May we remain restless and relentless in our pursuit of knowledge and may we never know complacence!

It’s been over 3 months since I blogged on anything connected to IP. In fact, the number of posts I wrote last year was less than half of what I had written in the year before. This wasn’t due to paucity of blog-worthy material. On the contrary, the final quarter of 2013 was replete with significant developments in the Indian IP landscape. It so happened that this was a particularly hectic period for me professionally and personally, which largely explains my longish break from blogging.

During this break, I also dabbled in non-IP writing on a different forum to broaden my horizons and move beyond pure legal analysis. Keeping with this sentiment, I intend to widen the scope of this blog by writing on both IP and non-IP related legal issues, with IP remaining my area of primary focus for obvious reasons. The eternal optimist that I am, I hope to write consistently this year and engage with our readers on a regular basis. Readers are welcome to suggest potential areas and topics for posts.
