192 5 THE DOCKET Page 27 SAMUEL E. FOUTS, LL.M. Professor of Patent Law and Practice ROFESSOR FOUTS is a na- tive of the State of Indiana. He graduated from Purdue University in 1892, and later received the degree of LL.M. from Columbian (now George Washing- ton) University. In 1899 Professor Fouts entered upon the practice of Patent Law in Cleveland, Ohio. A number of years ago he was appointed an examiner in the United States Patent Office, and became Examiner- in-Chief in 1916. Professor Fouts became a member of the Faculty of National University several years ago, as Professor of Patent Law and Practice. The ease with which he expounds this highly technical and exceedingly difficult subject shows Professor Fouts is a man of long years of experience in actual practice, one who is thor- oughly familiar with every phase of his subject. National is fortunate in securing the services of Professor Fouts, and National ' s students are doubly fortunate in having this course made so very interesting and instructive. CHARLES L.
