Jefferson Medalists
The Jefferson Medal is awarded annually by the New Jersey Intellectual Property Law Association to a person who has made exceptional contributions to the field of patents, trademarks and copyrights and is named after Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson was the 3rd President of the United States, 1st Secretary of State and the principal author of the Declaration of Independence. He was an original member of the "Commissioners for the Promotion of Useful Arts" also know as the Patent Commission, which was the predecessor of the first Patent Office and was also one of the authors of the 1793 Patent Act. Best known as a politician, statesman, architect and educator, Thomas Jefferson epitomized the "ideals of invention" and provides the inspiration for the award.
