Download or read book Career As a Lawyer written by Institute For Institute For Career Research and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WORKING AS AN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (IP) attorney can provide one of the most intriguing and lucrative career paths available today. IP lawyers perform many of the same duties as other types of lawyers. However, they focus on issues arising from unique creations of the human mind. They document and enforce patents for inventions; trademarks for businesses; and copyrights for authors, musicians, and publishers. At many organizations large or small, intellectual property is their most valuable asset. IP lawyers help individuals and businesses protect their ideas and products from unauthorized use, and ensure they are fairly compensated when those creations are licensed by others. Lawyers must complete seven years of college-level education, including three years of law school. They must also pass state exams and be admitted to the local bar association to obtain a license to practice law. Many IP lawyers who deal with patent law are also registered with the federal patent bar. IP law professionals provide advice to their clients, negotiate contracts, and sometimes litigate cases in civil or criminal court. IP attorneys may work for law firms, for private corporations, or for government agencies. The overall number of attorneys is expected to increase by almost 10 percent over the coming decade. The American Bar Association reports that there are more than 1.3 million US attorneys, while the American Intellectual Property Law Association currently lists some 14,000 members. Earnings for IP lawyers are similar to those of other attorneys, averaging almost $150,000 for experienced lawyers. Becoming an IP lawyer requires many of the same technical and personal skills as other attorneys, including solid communications skills, analytical thinking, and a thorough command of complex details. However, IP lawyers also need to be specialists in their fields of concentration. Patent attorneys often earn their bachelor's degrees in scientific disciplines, as they may work with pharmaceuticals, new computer innovations, or biotechnology research. Trademark attorneys work with businesses to protect their brand names, while copyright attorneys help creative artists such as authors and musicians profit from their works. IP law is a growing practice, as new scientific developments, digital media platforms, and new regulations have increased the complexity of IP issues in many industries. Tougher global competition and the Internet have increased the need for legal experts to combat online piracy, electronic content theft, and similar abuses. If you have good interpersonal, reasoning, and negotiating skills, you can build a rewarding career as an IP lawyer. The hours may be long and the work demanding, but the financial and personal rewards can be significant. Through proper training and hard work, you can achieve personal and professional satisfaction.

Download or read book Life After Law written by Liz Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by Harvard-trained ex-law firm partner Liz Brown, Life After Law: Finding Work You Love with the J.D. You Have provides specific, realistic, and honest advice on alternative careers for lawyers. Unlike generic career guides, Life After Law shows lawyers how to reframe their legal experience to their competitive advantage, no matter how long they have been in or out of practice, to find work they truly love. Brown herself moved from a high-powered partnership into an alternative career and draws from this experience, as well as that of dozens of former practicing attorneys, in the book. She acknowledges that changing careers is hard much harder than it was for most lawyers to get their first legal job after law school but it can ultimately be more fulfilling for many than a life in law. Life After Law offers an alternative framework and valuable analytic tools for potential careers to help launch lawyers into new fields and make them attractive hires for non-legal employers.
Download or read book Research Handbook on Intellectual Property Licensing written by Jacques de Werra and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Transactions involving intellectual property whether by way of out-and-out assignment or by one of the myriad variants of licensing which are possible, are really really important – they help the world of business go round. But such transactions can be complex with things like national rules preventing alienation getting in the way of bargains people wish to make. So it is quite astonishing how sparse the literature on the subject is – particularly literature taking a comparative view. This book is perhaps the very first of its kind, taking as it does perspectives from the major legal systems of the world. Moreover its distinguished authors have not written in a technical or abstruse way – as academics (and some judges) can all too easily do. Far from it. This book is readable – and anyone concerned with intellectual property licensing should read it and will find it a pleasure to do so. They will also learn a lot about some of the pitfalls and bear-traps to be found around the world. At UCL we have recognised the importance of this subject. This book will be on our students' reading list.' – The Rt. Hon. Sir Robin Jacob, UCL Faculty of Laws, UK 'IP licensing underpins the information economy. This impressive book brings together leading academic lawyers and practitioners from a range of key jurisdictions to explore a number of major current issues. The book is both thoughtful and practical and it is not afraid to call for greater harmonization of IP licensing law. It is a must have for all those involved in the field.' – Simon Stokes, Blake Lapthorn 'This Research Handbook provides a valuable mix of practical and theoretical perspectives on IP licensing and will serve as a reference resource for scholars and practitioners in this field of study.' – Francesco Parisi, University of Minnesota, US and University of Bologna, Italy 'The Handbook brings together a unique collection of world renowned experts providing detailed discussion in every chapter. The brilliance of this collective work is found in its broad two dimensional focus – beyond patents to all key IP assets on the one hand, and country specific discussion for key regions around the world on the other. . . Whether read cover-to-cover as a compilation of current best practice or used as a true reference guide, the Research Handbook on Intellectual Property Licensing is a must have for anyone seeking to capture value from intangible assets.' – From the foreword by James E. Malackowski The Research Handbook on Intellectual Property Licensing explores the complexities of intellectual property licensing law from a comparative perspective through the opinions of leading experts. This major research tool analyses the features of specific types of licensing agreements and also addresses other practical issues which apply across different types of licensing transactions, such as the treatment of licensing in bankruptcy and the use of arbitration for solving licensing disputes. The Handbook ultimately provides a scholarly contribution to the development of global intellectual property licensing policies. Including transversal and comparative analysis, this Handbook will appeal to intellectual property licensing practitioners, lawyers and intellectual property and contract law academics.
