Since June 2003 the IPKat weblog has covered copyright, patent, trade mark, info-tech and privacy/confidentiality issues from a mainly UK and European perspective. The team is David Brophy, Catherine Lee, Merpel, Jeremy Phillips, Nicola Searle, Annsley Merelle Ward and Neil J. Wilkof. You're welcome to read, post comments and participate in our community. You can email the Kats here >For the half-year to 31 December 2012, the IPKat's regular team is supplemented by contributions from guest bloggers Robert Cumming, Eleonora Rosati and Kate Manning. Watch out, too, for the AdvoKat ...Incidentally, two Kats are currently on blogging sabbaticals. They are Birgit Clark and Matt Fisher. >Wednesday, 30 November 2011 >Past historic 6: Elzie Segar, icon creator >The sixth item in the little bundle of photocopied articles on IP history which this Kat researched and wrote back in the 1980s, when he was still a full-time academic, has a very different focus to that of its predecessors. Its subject is Elzie Segar (1894 to 1938). >Though relatively little is known of Elzie Segar, this man is credited with creating some of the best-known icons of the 20th century and beyond: Popeye the Sailor, Wimpy and Jeep. This article takes a look at the man, his creations and some of the litigation that surrounded them >This article appeared as "Elzie Segar, Intellectual Property Creator Extraordinary" and was first published in <>986] European Intellectual Property Review 373 to 376.
