DESCRIPTION
Patent prosecution practices vary across law firms, technology types, and client sizes. Patents in the life-sciences industry present many opportunities. Wilson guides us through the differences in these opportunities.
- What does “patents and innovations lawyer” mean?
- What type of clients do patents and innovations lawyers work with? What is Wilson’s client base in this practice (and what is your personal client base)?
- How are the work and the legal issues different based on whether your clients are tech companies or life sciences companies?
- Does every big law firm have an “patents and innovations” practice group?
- Does every patent lawyer need to have a PhD? Does that differ from firm to firm?
- What does your typical day look like? Is that different based on your roles as partner or associate?
