Smeal Professor Earns Multiple Honors At Academic Conference
UNIVERSITY PARK, PA (September 6, 2007) – At its annual conference last month in Indianapolis, the Academy of Legal Studies in Business presented three awards to Daniel Cahoy, associate professor of business law at Penn State's Smeal College of Business.
Cahoy received the Junior Faculty Award of Excellence for having made significant contributions in teaching, research, and the furthering of the profession of collegiate instruction of business law. The Junior Faculty Award of Excellence is the academy's highest honor for a junior faculty member, which it defines as one in a tenure-track position for fewer than six years at the time of nomination.
The academy also presented Cahoy and his co-author, Robert Bird of the University of Connecticut, with two awards for a research paper they submitted to the conference. They received the Holmes-Cardozo Award for best submitted conference paper and the Ralph J. Bunche International Business Law Award for outstanding legal research in international business law.
Their paper, "The Impact of Compulsory Licensing on Foreign Direct Investment: A Collective Bargaining Approach," is forthcoming in the American Business Law Journal.
Cahoy is a patent attorney licensed to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and is admitted to the New York State Bar and several federal courts. He has published numerous articles in academic law journals on topics such as patent compulsory licensing, pharmaceutical importation and regulation, and the optimal policy for reforming the U.S. patent system, among others.
At Smeal, Cahoy specializes in the teaching and study of intellectual property law, as well as related issues in technology law and general business law concepts.
