DESCRIPTION
Patent litigation is a staple at many law firms and has been for decades. But what does it actually cover and how do patent practices vary from firm to firm. This session addresses these questions and more.
- What does “patent litigation” mean as a legal practice?
- Do patent litigators need science degrees? Do they need advanced science degrees?
- What type of clients do patent litigators work with?
- How are the work and the legal issues different in your patent litigation practice because your clients are tech and life sciences companies and often startups (vs other kinds of companies)?
- You work in different offices of the same firm – can you talk about how collaboration works across offices?
- What does your typical day look like? Is that different based on your roles as partner or associate?
- What advice would you give a law student looking to join a patent litigation practice?
