Ever thought about a career in intellectual property law but were unsure that you possess the qualifications that employers are looking for? For those who are contemplating entering the practice of IP law, this program will be very informative. A diverse panel of practitioners, including individuals from intellectual property boutiques, in-house corporation counsel and general practice law firms, will speak about their day-to-day work and share their varied career strategies about becoming an IP attorney. This program will particularly address the value of a technical background, entry into the practice, litigation versus prosecution, the patent bar, and defining the practice within areas of specialty. All are welcome to attend.
