New Hampshire Law School:

Franklin Pierce Law Center was founded by patent attorneys back in 1973.  For a time the law school was the clear national leader in the training of future patent attorneys. In the past 15–years, many law schools have added patent-focused faculty, but Franklin Pierce is still one of only a handful of schools that focuses on IP law training rather than legal theory. This week, the law school announced that it has formally merged with the University of New Hampshire and has become the University of New Hampshire School of Law. At the same time, the school created Franklin Pierce Center for Intellectual Property. Congratulations to my friends at UNH! [Link]
