Lecture will begin at 6 pm with a reception following at 7:30 pm.

Please join us for the Inaugural Donald R. Dunner Endowed Lecture. This annual GW Law lecture honors Don’s extraordinary contributions to numerous facets of the patent profession over his six-decade career, which included leading several of the IP bar associations, contributing to the creation of the Federal Circuit and then arguing 175 cases before the Court, and teaching law students at GW Law. The Dunner Endowed Lecture will feature contemporary thought-leaders addressing law and practice topics inspired by Don’s legacy.

GW Law would like to thank Don’s firm Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner for its leadership support of this endowed annual lecture as well as recognize and thank his many friends and professional colleagues for their generous contributions to the endowment. Together with the sponsoring bar associations that Don was an active member in and at one time led—the American Bar Association Section of Intellectual Property Law, the American Intellectual Property Law Association, and the Federal Circuit Bar Association—as well as co-sponsor The Giles S. Rich American Inn of Court—GW Law is pleased to offer this annual lecture as a tribute to Don who was a seminal thinker and prodigious doer on a vast array of patent law issues that have defined the contours of much of today’s profession.
