Our Former Students Members Of Asipi
From my stay in Franklin Pierce, I would like to highlight the opportunity to live in a small town that helped me both in my personal experience -which was incredible- as well as in my master's degree and in my studies to make it a very rewarding experience.
For me, Franklin Pierce was a foundational academic experience for everything that later became my professional career, in a wonderful environment and where I forged lifelong friendships.
If you are contemplating a master's degree in intellectual property, Franklin Pierce will be your best and only option. You will have the best professors in intellectual property, with an outstanding academic program and a simply spectacular location.
Franklin Pierce was a fantastic experience in my training in the area of intellectual property with great inspirations like Karl Jorda. Later I had the opportunity to return as a visiting professor in the summer courses. They were enriching experiences that opened up a much broader horizon focused on giving back and bringing a vision of development - hand in hand with intellectual property - to the countries of Latin America.
Franklin Pierce was a wonderful experience. I have great memories of excellent teachers, great friends and unforgettable experiences. I recommend it 100%.
At Franklin Pierce I always felt at home. I met great colleagues and friends and was able to study IP in great depth and with great professionals. At Franklin Pierce I lived one of the most interesting and beautiful years of my life.
At Franklin Pierce I received a first-class education that complemented my academic training and has been the spearhead for my professional career. It opened me the doors to an international network of professionals, friends, and colleagues that I maintain to this day.
At Franklin Pierce I had the opportunity to meet excellent professors, classmates who are still great friends, and the academic part was phenomenal. For anyone planning a master's degree in the United States, I highly recommend Franklin Pierce.
For me it was a very gratifying personal and professional experience. Knowing and deepening the regulations and casuistry from the US perspective was very enriching. Learning about the different theories that have marked the jurisprudence on trademark matters and patent legislation has made my professional practice much more comprehensive.
