然后associate这个词儿是不是指比attorney更高一点,已经有法律执业照的律师? | o*********s 发帖数: 275 | 2 Tech spec and patent paralegal are very different positions. Tech spec
usually has a science or engineering degree, in a lot of cases advance
degree. Tech specs usually help attorneys or work independently on patent
drafting and prosecution, provide litigation support and so on. Patent
paralegals are usually responsible for filing patent, keep portfolio, keep
track of deadlines and billing, etc...
Associate is a position for a professional employee, usually an attorney in
a law firm. Associate can rise to the rank of partner. Attorney is the
title indicating someone's professional qualification. You can be an
attorney after certain mandated education, passing the bar, and satisfying
some other requirements. |
