In 1879, Charles P. Jacobs became one of the first attorneys in Indianapolis to specialize in patent, trademark, and copyright law. He built a reputation as the leading patent attorney in Indiana and argued a number of cases before the United States Supreme Court. In 1892, Virgil Lockwood took over the practice. Mr. Lockwood taught patent and trademark law at Indiana Law School and published a book on the subject. His son, Ralph Lockwood, joined him in 1915. Harold
