Idaho - there's more than potatoes

IP ODDITIES

PotatoIn choosing a vacation spot for the summer there were many options:  Las Vegas, Mexico, Hawaii, Caribbean.  So it is somewhat surprising to the rest of the office that I decided on Idaho.  I spent the past week in Island Park cooling off from the heat and fly-fishing.  Unexpectedly, I return to find out that Idaho is not only a great summer vacation destination, it is also the No. 1 state in the country in patents per capita thanks to the Micron Technology and Hewlett-Packard invasion.  Together, the companies account for over three-fourths of Idaho’s total patent filings.   Idaho now has a lot more to offer than just potatoes, especially for a patent attorney.
