Hi all, I am going to be a senior next year, majoring in
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Penn State
University, and I have a keen interest in going on to
become a biotech patent attorney. I've read many many
statements and articles recomending pHD's for biotech
patent attorneys, so the way I see it I have the option of
going to get a pHD, then go to law school, or try to get
into a joint degree JD/pHD program. Could someone please
comment on the effectiveness and utility of these joint
degree programs? Another idea I have been playing with, has
been to go into industry immediately after receiving a
bachelor's degree, using them to attain a Master's, then
transfer to the law department and use them to attain a JD
and some work experience. Could someone please comment on
the attractiveness of a patent attorney with a Masters and
several years industry experience? Thanks a great deal for
your advice.
