Navigating the Path to Patent Practice

February 14, 2022 • 12:30 PM • Law School 4046

Learn about the unique specifics of pursuing a career in patent law, including the state of the market, the job search and various practice options. With the help of practicing attorneys from Wilson, Sonsini and Finnegan, we will cover the differences between patent boutiques and general practice firms, prosecution vs. litigation, and additional opportunities, including in-house and government positions. Upper-level students will also discuss their individual job searches, including participation in the Loyola Patent Interview Program, as well as their interviewing experiences.
