One of the foremost authorities on new developments in patent law isn’t a blogger or a traditional journalist. It’s Foley & Lardner partner Harold “Hal” Wegner, who circulates quick news updates via email along with analysis of his top 10 patent cases before the U.S. Supreme Court and the Federal Circuit. He’s also been known to add pot-stirring commentary about the people who make the law and the courts that decide it.

Wegner, 70, is a former patent examiner who founded his own practice in 1980. He became director of George Washington University’s intellectual property program in 1991, then joined Foley in 1994. “I thought I might be there for one year because I was concurrently professor at George Washington. But now it’s turned into 20,” he says.
