IP Management
The Intellectual Property Management Program
In 2009 Franklin Pierce Law Center inaugurated an intellectual property management program under the direction of newly-appointed Professor Gordon V. Smith. A Harvard graduate, Professor Smith has been a consultant in IP business matters for nearly 50 years and has lectured at FPLC as an adjunct for 15 years. He has long been of the opinion that IP legal education should include exposure to the financial principles that underly the "busine$$" of intellectual property.
"Our objective is to expand and enhance the worldwide body of knowledge associated with the management of intellectual property, including its creation, stewardship and exploitation. We will accomplish this by promoting the dissemination of IP management knowledge and best practices worldwide, and to provide a forum for the exchange of IP management thinking among the many and varied constituencies for whom it is important. This effort will draw from the fields of law, economics and commerce, and will focus on practical, real-world issues and solutions." — Gordon V. Smith
