About

I’ve gained an interest in Intellectual Property law for sometime now. Although I am not a lawyer with any recordable events in my history, I am taking the time do some research to further my interest in intellectual property law and hopefully, move into practice involving the issue. For now most of the research and news articles you see here are in relation to one of my current intellectual property classes, IM 350. I will continue to update this blog beyond the class, but for now, it serves as a space for these unique articles.

My name is Dave Diaz, I am a Senior majoring in Interactive Media and minoring in Computer Science at Bradley University. If you have any questions regarding the articles or just want to get a hold of me in general, you can do so by emailing me at ddiaz@mail.bradley.edu or by visiting my website at www.fontivo.com (which is currently broken).
