Franklin Pierce IP Library

Visiting UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law’s IP Library was one of the highlights of my trip there.

Besides a wealth of printed material on IP, the IP Library has a wonderful collection of patent models and memorabilia from important IP cases over the years. Notably, there is a tall glass cabinet with items from the personal collection of Franklin Pierce’s IP Center Director Professor Ann Bartow.

The Library also features patent certificates from all over the world. It is remarkable how the patent system, like other types of IP, transcends national boundaries while respecting the sovereignty of each national office. See how many certificates you can identify!
