In Reply To: Hi, I'll attend a top 6 law school next year (already admitted EA to NYU, hoping for HYS), and I graduated with a B.S. in Chemistry. I published some of my undergraduate research in organic chemistry. Is this enough background to get hired as a patent attorney? Will I need to get a Master's degreee? Ultimately, I'd like to work on drug patents.
Message: What is the best plan for getting into senior management at a drug company? I'm thinking about working for a respected IP firm for a few years, then moving in-house. If anyone has other ideas, please share.
