Patent Law – an alternative career path for science/engineering graduates

We will provide our insight into careers in patent law, including those in the public sector as U.S. Patent Examiners and the private sector as patent litigators, prosecutors, and agents.  We will answer some of the following questions:   How did we decide upon a career in patent law? Why did we go to law school? How does undergraduate/graduate school compare with law school? What is the difference between a patent examiner, litigator, prosecutor, and agent? What is our typical day like? What do we find most satisfying and most challenging about patent law?  How can one begin a career in patent law?

Hope to see you!
