Date: March 7th, 2010 6:31 PM Author: Sepia stimulating coffee pot GWU & IP law.
I don't know anything about U. Of Chicago so I won't comment on them.
GWU and Patent law is something I am qualified to talk about.
GWU has courses on Basic Patent Law taught by J. Rader and one more by Duffy. Duffy is one of the professors with publications on patent law.
Dean Whealon argues before the Federal Circuit and has worked as a prosecutor and has the most number of cases argued in the Federal Circuit behind just a few other partners of the named IP power houses.
I have never seen an cited article by the Dean. (There might be but I don't know of any when i researched on at least 20 different papers for different reasons on patent law.)
Other courses on offer
Prof. Dunner of eponymous law firm an old gent teaches Federal Circuit Practice. (Finnigen)
Prof. Bleeker from the same firm teaches IP licensing. (Finnigen )
J. Rader teaches a course on Federal Circuit court distinct from patent law.
Prof. Adelman teaches International Patent law and Anitrust law & IP.
I think Adelman has some papers though I am not aware of any by name.
Having said that the only papers that were excellent to me were from the stanford Dean ...
Judge Raders Patent law classes were ok.
There are a lot of people who are patent examiners and study here part time. They seems to be a huge part of the crowd at GWU.
I don't think GWU is a bad school for IP law. There is a ton of stuff you will learn here which is Washington DC specific. I am not sure what options Chicago will give you. I can see a huge negative on that front, no Federal Circuit in town. I don't anything about Chicago.
All of the above is not legal advice.
Lets see if someone from U. Chicago will help you out with what U. Chicago offers. I know that I would not look at FP as they are not ABA approved.
I am not sure rankings matter too much.

Date: March 7th, 2010 1:09 PM Author: vengeful tanning salon this was my gut reaction as well.

Date: March 7th, 2010 1:20 PM Author: diverse international law enforcement agency lay Do employers really give a shit about the USNews IP rankings? The regular rankings are useful to employers because they're based based on reputation surveys and rough measures of student quality.

|
Date: March 7th, 2010 1:24 PM Author: diverse international law enforcement agency lay I guess it may it may be easier to do well enough at GW to be considered by selective employers, too.
