Company Timeline

The Remarkable History of Patent Resources Group

Patent Resources Group (PRG) was founded in 1969 by Dr. Irving Kayton, a legendary law professor at the George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, DC. Professor Kayton was a corporate patent attorney prior to beginning his teaching career, and may well have been the nation's first full-time academic with an in-depth working knowledge of patent law. From 1964 until 1988, he was Professor of Law at The George Washington University Law Center, and while there he founded and directed the Patent and Intellectual Property Law Program and the Computers-in-Law Institute. In 1988, Professor Kayton left GWU to become the George Mason University Foundation Professor of Intellectual Property Law at the George Mason School of Law in Arlington, Virginia. While at George Mason, Professor Kayton instituted and directed the Juris Doctor Specialty Track in Patent Law and the Complex Technology Litigation Institute until 1992. Professor Kayton continues to provide academic direction to Patent Resources Group in its fifth decade.
