For over a century, The George Washington University Law School has stood at the forefront of intellectual property education and research. As early as 1895 when GW Law launched its Master's of Patent Law program, its graduates had already secured patents for groundbreaking inventions like Bell's telephone, Mergenthaler's linotype machine, and Eastman's roll film camera, with many others serving in the Patent Office. Throughout the past hundred years, GW Law has expanded its patent law specialization to include copyright, trademark law, digital communications, internet governance, e-commerce, and biomedical regulations.
