Biography

Dreyfuss grew up in Mount Vernon, New York.[1] She studied at Wellesley College, where she obtained a B.A. degree in chemistry, and then received a M.A. from the University of California, Berkeley.[2] After working as a research scientist, she graduated from Columbia Law School in 1981, where she was a James Kent Scholar and served as articles and book review editor of the Columbia Law Review.[3] After law school, Dreyfuss clerked for Judge Wilfred Feinberg of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and then for Chief Justice Warren Burger of the Supreme Court of the United States during the 1982–1983 term.[4]

In 1983 she joined the faculty of New York University School of Law, and in 1988 was named a full professor.[5] Her research focuses on patent law, copyright and intellectual property.[6][7][8][9] In 1996, she became the director of the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law and Policy, and is currently the co-director. She is co-author of a case book, Intellectual Property-Cases and Materials on Trademark, Copyright and Patent Law, originally published in 1996.

She is a member of the American Law Institute and was a reporter for its 2008 study, Intellectual Property: Principles Governing Jurisdiction, Choice of Law, and Judgments in Transnational Disputes.[10][11]

gollark: Did you just randomly decide to calculate that?
gollark: Well, you can, or also "it would have about the same mass as the atmosphere".
gollark: Wikipedia says that spider silk has a diameter of "2.5–4 μm", which I approximated to 3μm for convenience, so a strand has a 1.5μm radius. That means that its cross-sectional area (if we assume this long thing of spider silk is a cylinder) is (1.5e-6)², or ~7e-12. Wikipedia also says its density is about 1.3g/cm³, which is 1300kg/m³, and that the observable universe has a diameter of 93 billion light-years (8.8e26 meters). So multiply the length of the strand (the observable universe's diameter) by the density of spider silk by the cross-sectional area of the strand and you get 8e18 kg, while the atmosphere's mass is about 5e18 kg, so close enough really.
gollark: Okay, so by mass it actually seems roughly correct.
gollark: So, spider silk comes in *very* thin strands and is somewhat denser than water, interesting.
