Hello, I am planning to take the Patent Bar prior to
entering law school. According to the registration rules,
if one passes the exam and does not send in proof of good
standing with the Bar, then one is registered as a Patent
Agent rather than a Patent Attorney. Obviously, I would not
meet the 2 year deadline to prove good standing with the
Bar if I complete the Patent Bar prior entering law school.
So here is my question: will I be professionally limited in
any way if I take the Patent Bar, become registered as a
Patent Agent, and then take (and hopefully pass) a state
Bar in the future? For instance, could I work as an
in-house Patent Counsel for Google? Alternatively, would I
be able to change my registration to Patent Attorney once I
passed a state Bar?

Thanks in advance!!
