Professor Hagelin is an expert in technology innovation law. He teaches Technology Commercialization Law, and is the Founder and Director of the Technology Commercialization Research Center (TCRC), one of the first law school technology commercialization clinical programs in the U.S. Professor Hagelin has also taught Patent Law and Computer Law. His excellence in teaching has been recognized by the Kauffman Foundation by naming him a Kauffman Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Professor Hagelin has been issued two patents in the field of intellectual property valuation. He has recently published a casebook titled: Technology Innovation Law and Practice (LexisNexis, 2012). He has also written numerous law review articles in the areas patent law and intellectual property valuation. One of Professor Hagelin’s articles was recently cited by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of Uniloc v. Microsoft (2011) in support of the court’s rejection of the 25% Rule in calculating patent infringement damages.
Professor Hagelin serves as the Director of the New York State Science & Technology Law Center (NYS STLC). Syracuse University College of Law has been selected as the NYS STLC for three consecutive, three year terms by the New York State Economic Development Agency in peer reviewed competitions. The mission of the NYS STLC is to serve as New York State’s primary resource for laws relating to science and technology commercialization. Professor Hagelin has supervised over 120 research projects on the commercial development of early-stage technologies on behalf of universities, federal research laboratories, technology development organizations, and large, medium, small and start-up companies. These research projects have provided excellent learning experiences for students who later go on to careers in patent prosecution, patent litigation, and intellectual property transactions, having a keen appreciation of the importance of all aspects of the technology commercialization process. In addition, the client organizations for whom these research projects have been undertaken receive invaluable information and analysis from an independent, objective and expert source.
In December of 2009, the Governor’s New York State Task Force on Diversifying the New York State Economy through Industry – Higher Education Partnerships praised the Syracuse University College of Law Technology Commercialization Clinic model and recommended that the model, which Professor Hagelin has developed, be adopted by research universities throughout New York State.
Professor Hagelin has also been successful in obtaining grant funding for the Centers he directs. Over the past 10 years, these Centers have received over $3.5 million in grant funding. These grants have been used to provide scholarships and stipends to students enrolled in the Centers, and to support the establishment of technology commercialization clinics at other New York State universities.
Professor Hagelin graduated from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and Temple University Law School where he was the editor-in-chief of the law review. He also has an LL.M. degree from Harvard University. He has practiced in the area of corporate/commercial law with the firm of Dechert, Price and Rhodes (now Dechert) in Philadelphia, and has taught at the University of Cincinnati Law School prior to joining the Syracuse law faculty in 1978. Professor Hagelin is a member of the New York State Bar, the Pennsylvania State Bar, the Licensing Executive Society, the American Intellectual Property Law Association and the Association of University Technology Managers.
