I understand. I have very limited experience with biotech. The law firm I work for has a biotech section consisting of a single attorney with a PhD. I believe he is the only person in the IP department to have a PhD.

I believe TedJus' comments are in regards to research positions, not patent agent/patent attorney positions. I can tell you that in the area of the country where I live, most firms will not consider folks w/o a PhD for agent/advisor positions in biotech. The same goes true for chemistry as well (my field), although not to the same degree

Those who understand the electrical and software arts are in demand. Do job search on Patent Attorney and signifanctly more than half will be EE or CS positions
