The world economy is increasingly based on intangible intellectual property ("IP"). As a result, IP law continues
to be one of the "hot" practice areas. The demand for skilled counsel on the creation, use and defense of these IP
assets continues to grow. For lawyers, a job in IP law is challenging and uniquely rewarding, both financially and
personally.
That begs the question: "What do I do to get a job in this specialized field?"
Katharine Patterson knows and is happy to tell you...in PLI's FREE Audio
Only Webcast and Telephone Briefing, How to Get a Job in IP Law, April 11, 2006 at 1 PM (EST). Ms.
Patterson is the principal of Patterson Davis Consulting, leading consultants in the field of recruitment,
retention, structure and training of IP professionals. Katharine has worked with law firms and corporations
nationwide for over 25 years, advising them on human resources issues related to the practice of IP Law. Here she
shares her unique knowledge of what sorts of talents, training, and backgrounds firms and corporations are seeking
in the IP field.
We'll start with a quick survey of the kinds of jobs available in IP law, and then deal with frequently asked
questions like:
- Do I need a science or engineering degree to practice IP law?
- If I DO have a science or engineering degree, what special opportunities are available to me? What if I don't?
- How do I demonstrate my interest and experience in this field to potential employers?
- Where are my best networking opportunities?
And more....
