Maryland IP Law Blog Wordle

Posted on September 8, 2008 by Brian Wm. Higgins

     Below is a Wordle based on the last several months worth of posts on this website.  A Wordle is a “word cloud” generated from text in which greater prominence is given to words that appear more frequently in the source text.  In the Wordle below, one can see that the words "patent," "Maryland," "district," "court," and "judge" have found their way into the posts on this website more frequently than other words.

     Jonathan Feinberg of IBM Research is credited for providing the on-line Wordle tool.
