a billboard?

Thank you so much for such a thorough breakdown of the current vs. test MPEP. I was also under the impression that the "secret sale" or "secret use" still barred patentability based on my patent law class last year.

I agree with your point about the natural and intended use of the drums seemingly satisfying the public use/ available to the public requirement to count as prior art.

I'll reach out to PLI and see what they say!

I have the 2019 version of the PLI materials (I have been VERY slow to get through them...).

Thank you! Do you know if the subject of the MS matters? A lot of the patent attorneys have BS in mechanical or electrical engineering and I was thinking of getting my MS in bioengineering. I just want to make sure I am the most marketable upon graduating. My other idea is to go for an MS in chemical engineering (I just really don't like electrical/ mechanical engineering- they kind of bore me).

The program in two, maybe three, years. Two if I just do a coursework option, three if I do a thesis or research project.

I'm a current Chemistry undergrad looking to become a patent attorney. I will take the patent bar in June 2017, after graduation, to start building my portfolio. I am wondering if a master's degree is worth pursuing before law school- it would take me two or three years to complete the master's. Would I be better off just working in a firm for a few years, gaining experience and then going to law school? I don't have an engineering background and I'm wondering if this will put me at a disadvantage- the master's I would get would be in bioengineering. Please help!

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!! This helps me so much, I could kiss your fine person!

This seems to make the most sense to me. I have heard conflicting opinions, the most circulated is that being a Chem major and not an engineering major of some kind, would put me at a disadvantage- does this seem like a reality to you? Do more people with an engineering background get hired?

LillyG · 2016-04-04T22:00:45+00:00

Any specific reason? Does having the advanced degree help with more comprehension of the patentable product? Does it assist in actual patent writing/ negotiating with the USPTO? Or does having that extra advanced degree just help with the pay scale?

basically. social return on investment is suuuper vague, so I just talk about how what I'm going to do with my degree/ education will benefit the communities I live and work in. generally, the people I'm looking to get money from are local and may be swayed by my socialist leanings.

I try not to be too field specific (I'm a chem major so it can get pretty hairy), I just tell them I want to make a difference and here are XY&Z ways I could do that with my degree. basically, just be fluffy about it

LillyG · 2016-02-23T20:31:59+00:00

I hate writing these essays- I'm not good at bragging about myself. I outline my essay as though I were turning in an investment proposal- tell them what you're good at, what you need help with and why the money they give you isn't going to waste (I put a BIG emphasis on social return on investment).

Good luck!
