This is a compilation of useful off-site links found by various folks at Brown & Michaels. All of the links on this page will take you away from the Brown & Michaels site, and we are not responsible for any content on the linked sites, nor is listing here an endorsement of any of the services of the sites listed.
If you find a broken link, please let us know. If you have a link which belongs on this list, please email Mike Brown and if I think it will add to the usefulness of this page, it will be added. That said, however, we have a strict policy of only including links on this page if they are directly related to the subject matter of this website - see our linking policy web page for more info. We're sure your website on marital aids, real estate in Ibiza, or discount air fares is great, but please don't bother asking if we'll link to you - the answer is "no".
Please note: This page is an expansion of our "Intellectual Property Resources" page on the main web site. It was designed, and is maintained, for the internal use of attorneys and paralegals at Brown & Michaels. We've linked it to our website in the expectation that those outside the office may find these links useful. We hope you do. However, where a link notes "account required - see MFB" - you're on your own!
