Editorial Desk and Publishing Notes
How the IP Insurance Blog team drafts, checks and publishes articles on intellectual property risk and cover.
One desk for every article
Each post passes through the same desk: a brief, a legal check and a plain language edit. Nothing goes live until the named reviewer signs off.
Pre-publication checklist
- Every legal claim links to a primary source
- Jurisdiction is named wherever a rule differs by country
- Case names and dates have been verified against the official record
- Insurance terms are described as general information, not advice
- Internal links point only to live pages on this site
Publishing workflow
Day 1
Brief
The editor records the question the article answers, the reader it serves and the sources to be consulted.
Day 2
Draft
The writer produces a draft with headings that match the questions readers ask most often.
Day 3
Legal review
A reviewer checks each statement about coverage, exclusions and case law before publication.
Day 4
Publish and archive
The post goes live with its review date recorded, and the source file is stored for audit.

Process
Tracking review dates
Each article now carries a review date so that outdated law is flagged before readers encounter it.
Send a correction or a question
Readers and clients can flag an error or suggest a topic. Every submission is logged and answered by the editorial desk.
Editorial contact form
Corrections are reviewed within five working days. Do not include confidential claim details in this form.
The checklist caught a missing jurisdiction note before a client saw it. That single fix saved a week of corrections.
