During Patterson's tenure at Mercer he attended Harvard Law School and wrote his S.J.D. dissertation on the history of copyright law. He received the S.J.D. degree from Harvard in 1966. The dissertation became the foundation for his influential book Copyright in Historical Perspective, published in 1968 and still in print as of 2007.
The ALA L. Ray Patterson Copyright Award was established in his honor.[1] The first three winners were Kenneth Crews (2005); Prue Adler (2006); and Peter Jaszi (2007).
Ray Patterson died at age 74. He is succeeded by his wife, Laura Patterson and two daughters Adelyn Hilado and Ida Patterson. He also left behind four grandchildren who consider him an inspiration to this day. He constantly stressed the importance of an education to which all four grand children took to heart. His oldest grandson, Thomas Ray Hilado, also attended Mercer University in his grandfather's footsteps. His oldest granddaughter, Laura Carol Hilado attends Emory University; where Patterson served as the Dean of the Emory University School of Law.
