IP Attorney at USPTO
Guest
|
Hi,
I am seeking some guidance regarding career prospects of a patent attorney with PTO experience.
I have substantial scientific experience in Organic/Biochem area. I recently graduated from a lawschool with ranking in the 50-60. I have already passed the patent bar and I am reasonably confident that I will pass the NJ bar. Currently, I am looking for a position and I have an offer from the PTO to start as an examiner. If I take the position at PTO I will have to leave in no more than four years. My questions are;
1. Would the PTO experience help or hurt in 3-4 years?
2. Would it preclude me from getting a litigation position?
3. What are large and mid-size firms' view of PTO expereince?
4. Will I be able to start at a second year or third year level at a firm with the PTO experience?
Thanks for your input.
