She may have started her professional career
by studying psychology, but becoming Commissioner of Trademarks for the United
States Patent and Trademark Office has been Deborah Cohn’s longtime dream.
Shortly after receiving her degree in psychology, she shifted towards law; and
patent law, at that. Deborah Cohn’s dedication to this field has been
unyielding since, which is part of the reason why she holds such an esteemed
executive position in a federal office. Another part of it could be credited
towards the exceptional education she gained from the following institutions.
American University
American University is one of Washington
D.C.’s most esteemed private institutions. It has hundreds of programs in a
number of different disciplines, with comprehensive four year programs that
help form many of today’s business and political figures. Deborah Cohn
graduated from here in 1974 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology.
George Mason University
After doing some graduate work in New York
following the reception of her Psychology degree, trademark and patent office
official Deborah Cohn decided to steer a different direction down her career
path and try law for a change. She enrolled at the George Mason University
School of Law in pursuit of her Juris Doctor. While enrolled, her enthusiasm
for academia made her a pleasure to be in the classroom with for both her
classmates and professors. Her interest in law also sharpened as she grew an
interest in patent and trademark infringement issues, which she decided to
pursue in her later years of academia. She graduated with her JD in 1982.
