Since
IPWatchdog.com was originally launched in October 1999, it has been owned and maintained by Gene Quinn, a patent attorney, law professor, author and inventor. The site has gained fame in the intellectual property community thanks to his writing original articles on such subjects as patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and invention submission. The site has flourished in recent years, making it one of the most popular intellectual property websites on the Internet. Now Quinn is selling the site and domain name via auction.
Since 1999 IPWatchdog.com has provided individuals, small businesses and entrepreneurs with information to help them understand all areas of intellectual property and to become better consumers. In fact, IPWatchdog.com leads the charge to inform individual inventors of invention submission scams. Indeed, if you type "invention submission" into Google, Yahoo or MSN, IPWatchdog.com's "The Truth About Invention Submission," a detailed expose and warning, is the first page that appears in the free rankings.
IPWatchdog.com has achieved extraordinary search engine ranking for highly desirable terms in the competitive marketplace of intellectual property advertising via the Internet. Paying for advertising through pay-per-click models for desirable search terms relative to intellectual property, particularly patents, ideas and inventions where IPWatchdog.com scores best, routinely costs between $3 and $6 per click.
IPWatchdog.com is up for sale at
SitePoint.com. The starting bid is $10,000, but is expect to sell well above that price given that almost 19,000 unique visitors a month are gained by the site through free search engine rankings and links across the Internet.
Many likely remember that the domain name “Patents.com” was up for auction in May 2007 and before the auction was closed the top bid was $350,000. The Internet Real Estate Group ultimately purchased “Patents.com” for an undisclosed amount reportedly between $1 to $2 million. While IPWatchdog.com differs from Patents.com, Quinn points out that “it has broader appeal in terms of traffic because it has traffic associated with copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets as well as patent and invention related traffic.” Quinn continued, “according to both Alexa.com and Quantcast.com, IPWatchdog is far more popular than Patents.com.” Quinn is also not just selling the domain name, but the sale also includes the content of the site (unlike the Patents.com sale), and he is willing to stay on in some capacity to ensure the buyer meaningfully captures the good will he has built up with IPWatchdog.com.
