Mission Statement

The Patent Law Forum is devoted to promoting the study and practice of patent law. Our main purpose is to facilitate engagement in the patent law community by bringing students who are passionately interested in patent law together with faculty members and practicing professionals to engage in deep and lively discussion on ideas and issues relating to patent law and its policies.  At Patent Law Forum, we strive to furnish an environment under which students can share their intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, higher education experience, and personal and professional enrichment under the guidance of the founding Mission of the University of New Hampshire School of Law, which espouses a commitment to continually improve and emphasize intellectual property law.
