McKee, Voorhees & Sease PLC (MVS) has launched the Sease Awards, a new program at Drake Law School named after Edmund J. Sease, a former managing partner of MVS. Sease helped develop MVS into an intellectual property firm and helped establish the IP program at Drake Law School, where he taught as an adjunct professor for over 40 years. The Sease Awards will provide financial support to Drake Law School students for activities such as IP-related conferences, patent bar exam preparation and interdisciplinary initiatives connected to intellectual property law, according to a news release. Students can submit proposals for 2025 until April 2 and contact Drake Law School associate professor and Sease Faculty Research Scholar Sayoko Blodgett-Ford for more information at sayoko.blodgettford@drake.edu.
