Why did the Franklin Pierce Law Center (Pierce Law) affiliate with the University of New Hampshire (UNH)?
Affiliation with a flagship research university provides an opportunity to strengthen Franklin Pierce Law Center’s programs and raise its stature both nationally and internationally. Franklin Pierce Law Center, for example, has one of the top intellectual property law programs in the world, which will benefit from, among other things, the strength of UNH’s science and engineering and business colleges. At the same time, Franklin Pierce Law Center’s expertise in intellectual property and technology commercialization will help UNH continue to expand its efforts to strengthen its research programs and commercialize the products of its science and engineering labs, thereby improving UNH’s position as a engine for economic growth in New Hampshire. The state benefits when new jobs are created as a result of this new synergy.
