As if life weren't exciting enough these days, the ILPTO issued a clarification (in both Hebrew and in English) to its earlier announcement about work arrangements during the coronavirus shut-down: since the statute imposes a 90-day limit to record a pledge against a patent, the ILPTO will continue to process the recording of such pledges. And if you're a patent practitioner trainee and you're now on unpaid leave, you should read the announcement.
