Professor Andres Sawicki, director of the Business of Innovation, Law, and Technology concentration (BILT), recently co-authored a comprehensive casebook, “Patent Law: An Open-Access Casebook.” Written with Sarah Burnstein and Sarah R. Wasserman Rajec, the book covers all the fundamentals of the United States patent system. It is designed to be used as the primary text in a three-credit or four-credit patent law course.
Sawicki teaches in the area of intellectual property law and is particularly interested in the complex psychology of creativity and in the difficulty of coordinating multiple creative collaborators. Sawicki’s research also examines the interaction among distinct patent doctrines. His work has been published by leading journals, including Cornell Law Review, William & Mary Law Review, and The University of Chicago Law Review, among others. Prior to his appointment at Miami Law, Sawicki was a Bigelow Teaching Fellow and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago Law School.
