April 11, 2006, Live Telephone Briefing


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....

This is another briefing in PLI's IP Career Series. Also included (and available archived at PLI for free) are The Latest Information on the New Patent Bar Exam and So You Want to Be a Patent Lawyer....

You can listen to this briefing live on the Web or on the phone. There will be time for some questions and answers at the end of the presentation. Those listening on the Web will be able to ask questions via email.

Or listen to the briefing after the fact in our archives. In any case, it's free.
