Patent Attorney Career: How to Become a Patent Attorney

Interested in a career as a patent attorney? This video details how to start your patent attorney career along with some other professions working in patent law that do not require you to become an attorney, such as being a patent agent or patent scientist. To become a patent attorney, you need to go to law school and pass the bar in at least one state and also pass the patent bar. However, you can pass the patent bar before becoming an attorney like I did and start as a patent agent. Alternatively, you can practice as a patent agent without ever becoming an attorney and do essentially the same work that patent attorneys do. #patentattorney #patentcareers #lawcareer #legalcareers #lawcareer #patentagentexam #patentbar
