© Center for the Protection of Intellectual Property at the George Mason University School of Law
Professor G. de Rassenfosse has been awarded a Thomas Edison Innovation Fellowship for 2017-18 by the Center for the Protection of Intellectual Property at the George Mason University School of Law.
The Thomas Edison Innovation Fellowship is a year-long, non-resident fellowship program that brings together a group of scholars to develop research papers on patent law and policy. The Edison Fellowship is one of the centerpieces of the Center for the Protection of Intellectual Property’s mission to promote a better academic discussion about intellectual property rights with substantial scholarship produced from rigorous research that examines the moral and economic value of patented innovation.
The Edison Fellowship consists of a series of invitation-only conferences over the course of a year in which Edison Fellows study and discuss a structured curriculum, engage in roundtable discussions with other expert scholars and industry representatives, and share and collaborate on both their research and early drafts. The fellowship culminates in the production of substantial academic research papers.
The award is another sign of the international reputation of Prof. de Rassenfosse in the area of IP Policy.
