Hi,

Go for a Ph.D. only if you love the subject and you forsee
the need to do research in that area in the future. If you
only want go to grad school as part of a plan to practice
patent law in the future you might go insane in an open-ended
graduate program. The vast majority of EE patent attorneys do
not have EE Ph.D.s. Look up their backgrounds on the Internet
sites of attorney directories to see this. Also, be aware that
with no background in biological/biochemical science you are
extremely unlikely to ever be able to do biotech patent work;
for this area, yes, a biomedical Ph.D. is a big boost to career
success (but not mandatory).
