First to Invent at the Federal Circuit

This past February, the Constitutional Law class traveled downtown to the Innovation Center at the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
Students engaged in a mock trial based on a late 19th century case involving a contested patent, pitting Granville T. Woods against Lucius J. Phelps, for a system that could send a telegraph message to a moving train. Students then met Judge Raymond Chen who discussed his educational and professional journey and the work of the United States Court of Appeals.
