UPOP Mentor, Herbert R. ("Dick") Schulze ’67 will present one of his informative and engaging explorations into the realm of patents.

Unreasonable Men, Unreasonable Patents

It’s been said that the reasonable man accommodates himself to the world whereas the unreasonable man demands that the world accommodate itself to him; all progress therefore depends on the unreasonable man. This talk will consider unreasonable men and women, past and present, and how they and their unreasonable patents progressed the world to where it is today.

Dick is a graduate of MIT 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 U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. Following service as an Air Force JAG and as a law clerk, he engaged in a general law practice in San Diego before specializing in intellectual property matters. He was with Hewlett-Packard Co. then Agilent Technologies as Managing Counsel in Intellectual Property for 19 years. He later became Of Counsel to Holland & Hart in Reno and Special Counsel to Evergreen Valley Law Group of Bangalore, India.  Dick has two grown children and five grandchildren. When not practicing law, he can be found passionately pursuing his second profession as a snowboard instructor at Northstar California ski resort or cruising the twistiest roads of America on his Triumph Rocket 3.
