Abstract

Most PhD students have no idea what patent law is, if it is a career they might want to pursue, and how to get into the profession. Here, a recent law school graduate with a PhD in the life sciences explains everything from how to get into law school to what patent law actually is. Most importantly, he explains why he believes it is a more attractive career choice after your PhD than academia or industry.
