IP Department Chair David De Lorenzi Recognized for Firm's IP Growth and Gibbons Institute of Law, Science & Technology

David De Lorenzi brings enthusiasm and creativity to any undertaking, be it building and directing the highly regarded Intellectual Property Department at Gibbons P.C., creating and overseeing the firm's Apprenticeship Program, or helping develop and lead the Gibbons Institute of Law, Science & Technology at Seton Hall University School of Law.

It is his dedication to Seton Hall Law, in fact, that led to his current feature in Health Law and Intellectual Property Law Highlights, the quarterly publication of the Seton Hall Law Center for Health & Pharmaceutical Law & Policy. Highlighting how Mr. De Lorenzi has helped nurture his firm's uniquely close relationship with the law school, the article discusses how his work with the Gibbons IP Department feeds his ideas for the Gibbons Institute, and how his ongoing involvement with the institute in turn benefits the firm's clients.

Mr. De Lorenzi has been one of the driving forces behind the Gibbons Institute, which the firm endowed with $1 million to launch in 2007. The Institute trains students and professionals in intellectual property law to better meet the needs of industries facing cutting-edge technological and associated legal challenges, and it engages the local bar with continuing education programs and networking opportunities. The magazine article notes Mr. De Lorenzi's ongoing involvement on the Gibbons Institute Advisory Board and the Institute's contribution to raising the profile of Seton Hall Law in the intellectual property law arena.

The profile of Mr. De Lorenzi appears on the Seton Hall Law web site and can be viewed here.
