“The Intersection of Law and Physics: A Career in Patent Law”
Kris will explain the path from an undergraduate degree in physics to a profession in patent law, including the law school application/choice process, law school itself, taking the state bar and patent bar exam with the USPTO, and other issues. Additionally, he will discuss a patent attorney’s role in the process from an invention in the laboratory to an issued patent on the technology. Finally, he will discuss how a physics degree makes one uniquely qualified for the day-to-day dealings of a patent attorney, and why a science or engineering degree is, in fact, a requirement to be licensed in this profession.
