I am very sad to inform you of the tragic death of George Washington University Law School Professor Dmitry Karshtedt. Professor Karshtedt was a bright, kind, generous and good person. I have pasted his biography from the GW Law School website below. Also, I have pasted information about remembrance services for him. Our deepest condolences are extended to his family and all who knew him.
GW Law Biography
Dmitry Karshtedt's primary research interest is in patent
law. His legal scholarship has been published in the Iowa Law Review, Vanderbilt
Law Review, and Harvard Journal of Law & Technology, among
other outlets, and cited in three of the leading patent law casebooks, a
casebook on intellectual property, and several treatises. Professor
Karshtedt's academic work has won several awards, including the
Samsung-Stanford Patent Prize and the scholarship grant for judicial clerks
sponsored by the University of Houston Law Center Institute for Intellectual
Property and Information Law.
Before going into law, Professor Karshtedt completed a
PhD in chemistry from U.C. Berkeley and worked as a staff scientist for a
semiconductor materials startup. He is a co-author on five scientific
publications and a co-inventor on twelve U.S. patents. Professor Karshtedt
received his law degree from Stanford Law School, where he served as the Senior
Symposium Editor for the Stanford Law Review. Professor Karshtedt
practiced in the Patent Counseling and Innovation Group at Wilson Sonsini
Goodrich & Rosati and clerked for the Honorable Kimberly A. Moore on the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Immediately prior to starting
his position at GW, Professor Karshtedt was a Fellow at the Center for Law and
the Biosciences at Stanford Law School. In the fall of 2021, Professor
Karshtedt was a Visiting Scholar at the University of Copenhagen Faculty of Law
in the Centre for Advanced Studies in Biomedical Innovation Law.
Remembrance Services
This Thursday, November 3rd from 6:30-7:30 PM, there will be
a Panikhida in honor of Dmitry's life at St. Mary's Orthodox Church (7223
Roosevelt Avenue Falls Church, Virginia 22042).
The GW Community gathering will take place this Friday, November 4th from
1-1:30 PM (not 12-12:30 PM) on the Stockton patio.
Additionally, there will be a visitation this Friday, November 4th from 4-6 PM
at Gawler's Funeral Home in
Friendship Heights, Washington, DC.
Any contributions (in lieu of flowers) should go to a GW Law scholarship just
created by the family to honor Dmitry. As his parents said, Dmitry would like
to help other students.
