UPOP Mentor Dick Schulze ’67 presents an entertaining look at some amusing – and some technological breakthrough – patents of the past, talks about how to get started on patenting your own breakthrough inventions, and takes a peek at where the U.S. patent system is going in the 21st Century.
From San Francisco, Dick is an MIT graduate in electrical engineering and the University of Chicago law school. He is licensed to practice law in California, Colorado, Nevada, and South Dakota, and before the US Patent & Trademark Office. Following service as an Air Force JAG and as a law clerk to U.S. District Judge Howard Turrentine in San Diego, he engaged in a general law practice in San Diego, later specializing in intellectual property. For 19 years he was with Hewlett-Packard Co. and its successor Agilent Technologies as Managing Counsel in Intellectual Property, supervising a staff of company attorneys and legal assistants in California, Colorado, Singapore, and Germany. Following his retirement from Agilent in 2007, he became Of Counsel to Holland & Hart in Reno and Special Counsel to Evergreen Valley Law Group of Bangalore, India. In May 2011 he returned to HP for a brief stint as IP Counsel before retiring in the fall of 2012.
Dick has two grown children and four grandchildren. When not practicing law, he can be found passionately pursuing his second profession as a snowboard instructor at Northstar-at-Tahoe Ski Resort.
