INTA RSS feeds

If you are a trade mark professional or a business with substantial trade mark interests, chances are that you are member of the International Trade Mark Association.

You might have spotted that deep within the INTA site you can subscribe to RSS feeds. I've been subscribing for several months. However, they are consistently so full of HTML formatting codes that they are unreadable in practice. It may be down to me and my GreatNews RSS newsreader, but this is the only feed that comes out in this format so suspect it's not me.

Back in November 2006, I wrote to INTA's publicity team the following:

"I'm an INTA member and subscribe to the INTA RSS feeds. Unfortunately, the formatting of these doesn't really work (I attach a print-out of the feed from my RSS Reader). Given that RSS feeds are likely to become increasingly important, I think the Association ought to be looking at getting this right."

I've not heard from them and the feeds are still rubbish. I'm going to press them again.
