Samsung-Stanford Patent Competition
Samsung-Stanford Patent Prizes are co-sponsored by Samsung Electronics and Stanford Law School to encourage research on patent remedies. The committee selected Professor Amy Landers' proposal for a paper on patent damages in which she argues that when awarding damages the fact finder should tailor compensation to the patentee's actual contribution to the field, rather than the patent claim as a whole. In addition to a cash prize award, Amy participated in a conference on the subject of patent damages at Stanford Law School on February 18, 2011.

University of the Pacific Podesto Award
The Podesto Award is one of the Faith Davies All University Leadership Awards given each year by the University of the Pacific. The Podesto Award recognizes outstanding educators who directly touch and enrich the lives of Pacific students.
