Sapna Kumar, '03: Selected as a Fulbright-Schuman Research Scholar
UHLC Professor Kumar named Fulbright scholar
University of Houston Law Center Professors Renee Knake and Sapna Kumar have been awarded Fulbright grants to conduct research in their specialty areas in Australia and Europe for the 2019 winter semester.
Kumar, George Butler Research Professor of Law and co-director of the Institute for Intellectual Property and Information Law, was selected as a Fulbright-Schuman Research Scholar and awarded an innovation grant. She will spend five months in Europe, including four at the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition in Munich, Germany, researching the formation of Europe's Unified Patent Court.
"I am honored to have been selected by the Fulbright Commission and grateful for the Law Center for providing me with research leave to pursue this project," Kumar said. "I have been learning German for the past four years and am looking forward to putting my skills to good use."
The innovation grants support work that can create better transatlantic understanding of issues at the heart of the U.S.-EU relationship, particularly at the intersection of policy and technology.
At the Law Center, Kumar teaches Patent Law, Federal Courts, Administrative Law and Property.
