Albany Law School has a class on “Patent Prosecution and Patent Drafting.” How cool is that?
I went to law school in the late mid-1990’s and I actually took the first IP class offered at the school, a solitary class that covered patents, copyrights and trademarks (yes, I know that some other schools have always taught IP…). Thank God law schools are starting to take IP law more serious.

My school actually offers a patent prosecution class and a patent litigation class. Oh, and “Writing Technical Contracts”, too. All are taught by practicing lawyers. It’s nice to have the options, but a little difficult trying to squeeze it all in.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison, not what I’d call an IP centric law school, has classes in IP licensing (taught by the General Counsel of the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation–WARF, Madison’s tech transfer office), and a patent drafting and prosecution class taught by a local attorney (which, I’ve been told is a horrible, tedious class).
