Howard Bremer, emeritus patent attorney with the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, was honored Friday with the 2006 Jefferson Award by the New Jersey Intellectual Property Law Association. Bremer, a pioneer in university technology transfer and intellectual property law, was also founder of the Association of University Technology Managers and helped champion the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, giving universities and nonprofit groups the right to hold patents on their own inventions.
