- justboxing 9y ago"Pharma Company Wins $1M in legal fees from Patent Troll & Stanford University" How about that? 78 characters long (within the 80char HN title limit).
- rkho 9y agoLeland Stanford Junior University is the longform name of the Stanford in Palo Alto we all know.
- mark_element 9y agoYup. I feel like I won a small prize at some point on a campus tour for knowing this fact.
- dkural 9y agoI think the long form is less clear - Stanford University is the common name. Stanford is a fine and commonly used abbreviation. Many people don't know the full, long name.
- m-j-fox 9y agoOne point of confusion is that there's a Stanford Health Care, despised corporation with some relationship to the school but not exactly the same thing.
