Congratulations, Linda!
Congratulations, LindaRight: no, this isn't a portrait of Linda Oakley - it's the IPKat hiding his embarrassment at missing her off yesterday's Congrats post
It was almost inevitable that, with all that small print, the IPKat would miss a key name in this year's New Years Honours List. Well, he has. But it's not too late to make amends and to wish his friend Linda Oakley, of Ideas21, his most heartfelt congratulations on her becoming an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire).
Ideas21 is an innovation support organisation devoted to the successful exploitation of ideas and intellectual property via networking and education - it works to make IP understandable, relevant and even occasionally interesting to people whose talent for creativity exceeds their passion for absorbing the legal small print. Well done, Linda.
