发帖数: 5 | 1 想请教各位前辈 关于在U.S.law firm从事专利相关工作的问题
1.我的本科是化学,之后拿了个bio的MA,不知就chem or bio background的人而言,若从
事patent的工作, 则Ph.D.是否为必需?
2 Ph.D.时的research方向,成果,或者学校排名,会影响到以后走专利的路吗?
3 在念完Ph.D.后,在美国容易找到专利的相关工作吗? (例如patent writer, patent
specialist) 专利这块缺不知道多不多?
4.考古得知约得工作60-80/week,不知道就fresh Ph.D.而言平均收入约可达多少呢?

away with your technical degree.
Why do you need to work 60-80/week? | c*******i

cannot bill your every hour as if you are doing litigation.
Second, law school doesn't teach patent prosecution, and people learn it by
doing the real work. There is normally a three-year learning curve for
new associate doing patent prosecution, before they become efficient
and comfortable with billable hours.
For these two reasons, if the firm has a strict billable-hour requirement,
it is common for rookie patent prose

prosecution, no matter you have JD or not. I think it's a very bad idea,
but this seems to be a trend.
