IPWatchdog, a publication focused on intellectual property law, has announced a "Dog of the Year" contest. The contest draws on the real dog photos that have appeared in its weekly "Other Barks and Bites" column since mid-2024. Those images came from friends, colleagues, and readers.
The contest is a departure from the site's usual legal analysis. It appears to be a light-hearted way to engage its audience. The source does not provide details on how voting works or when the winner will be announced.
For a law and policy section, this item is notable mainly as an example of how legal publications sometimes mix in community features. No legal or policy implications are mentioned in the source.
