Chuck Fish is Vice President & Chief Patent Counsel of Time Warner Inc. He is a 1984 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, where he was a national champion parliamentary debater and achieved two coveted Black N awards. After commissioning, he served on a destroyer and a Patrol Wing Staff in the Western Pacific until President Reagan won the Cold War and we ran out of targets.
He then attended Wayne State University Law School, graduating cum laude in 1992. While in Detroit at Wayne State he founded the Wayne Law Film Society and was active in the Federalist Society. He was especially pleased by Justice Thomas' mention of Wayne State Law School as possibly embodying a compelling state interest (unlike the University of Michigan Law School) in the dissent in Grutter v. Bollinger. Following graduation Chuck worked at Morgan & Finnegan, Sony, General Instrument Corporation and Motorola Inc. prior to beginning his current job in September of 2002. He has spoken on legal and patent topics for the AIPLA, DC Bar Association, Federal Circuit Bar Association, Philadelphia IPLA, Pittsburgh IPLA and the Anne Anstine Excellence in Public Service Series of the Pennsylvania GOP.
