Albert and Vern Oldham Lectureship

The Albert and Vern Oldham Intellectual Property Law Endowment Fund was established at The University of Akron School of Law by Edwin W. “Ned” Oldham, senior partner at the former Oldham & Oldham Co., L.P.A., now Hahn Loeser + Parks, Akron. Albert and Vern Oldham founded Oldham & Oldham, a patent law firm, in 1947. The Fund is devoted to furthering The University of Akron School of Law’s mission in the area of intellectual property law. Ned Oldham sought to strengthen the teaching of patent, copyright and trademark law at the school and to focus on the importance of innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit that drives continued growth, progress and excellence in our community and nation.

Professor Graeme B. Dinwoodie from Chicago-Kent College of Law, will visit The University of Akron School of Law April 13, 2009 as part of the annual Albert and Vern Oldham Intellectual Property Law lecture series. He will speak on the subject “Trademarks as Keywords.”
