OU Law Professor Sarah Burstein’s article, The “Article of Manufacture” in 1887, was recently identified as one of the best works of recent scholarship relating to intellectual property in a review published in Jotwell: The Journal of Things We Like (Lots).
Mark McKenna, Professor of Law and Notre Dame Presidential Fellow at Notre Dame Law School, provided a thorough review of Prof. Burstein’s work, which examines the historical context behind what defines a design for an article of manufacture. Professor McKenna is widely recognized as a leading intellectual property scholar, having published in many of the most prestigious journals in his field.
