The nonprofit Intellectual Property Hall of Fame is seeking nominations for 2008 inductees. The award is designed to honor individuals who have made significant contributions to today’s IP regime and is limited to five inductees this year. The award is sponsored by the U.K.-based Intellectual Asset Management Magazine.
Previous winners include former U.S. commissioner of patents and trademarks Gerald Mossinghoff; U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit Judge Pauline Newman; and Microsoft IP Chief Marshall Phelps. Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison were also honored for their insistence that IP rights be specifically safeguarded by the Constitution. (Hat tip to Patently-O for the info).
