Tomas Gomez-Arostegui is the Kay Kitagawa & Andy Johnson-Laird IP Faculty Scholar and a professor at Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, OR. His scholarship interests lie primarily in the history of intellectual property before the year 1800, especially that of copyright and patent, and in the remedies awarded in intellectual property cases. In 2015, the American Society for Legal History awarded him the Sutherland Prize for the best article or book chapter on English legal history published in the prior year. Before entering private practice and teaching, he clerked for the late Judge Edward Rafeedie of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and for Judge John C. Porfilio of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
