The State Bar of Texas presented the 2024 Fritz Lanham Trademark Award June 21 to the Trademark Clinic in South Texas College of Law Houston’s Randall O. Sorrels Legal Clinics.
“We have been a resource for small businesses for more than a decade. We recently filed case number 250. This impact is what the award recognizes,” said Professor Emeritus Phillip Page, who has taught the students in the Trademark Clinic since its inception in 2012.
The award presentation occurred during the Intellectual Property Section Awards at the State Bar of Texas annual meeting in Dallas. These awards celebrate significant accomplishments in the legal community related to trademarks. The Fritz Lanham award is given annually to recognize lawyers and businesses for their accomplishments on brand-related projects.
“Thanks to all who have helped build the program to award-winning strength,” Prof. Page said. “I greatly appreciate all the people who have made it hum, including many great students, and who have allowed us to serve the community in this important area of law.”
