发帖数: 24 | 1 Two firms:
(1) Big GP firm (>250 attorneys) with IP litigation. Position is science
advisor, supporting technology for litigators.
(2) Small IP boutique (<10 attorneys), prosecution only. Want to develop
business with my previous employer.
I plan to go to Law School either full time or part time next year.
Please give your comments on:
litigation vs. prosecution,
big GP firm vs. small firm,
long term law school path,
development space, etc.
Really appreciate! |

Words said, it's better to learn prosecution from experienced people than di
gging out by your own. However, were I in your shoes, I'd rather pick the bi
g firm to get familiar with what's going on in IP law field as a whole pictu
re first because I cannot tell from your word how sophisticated the small fi
rm's attorneys are, and consequently how much they can teach you.

Actually I am more concerned for the future plan.
It is said jumping from big to small is easier than vice versa, right?
Then how about going to law school, then go to big firm, with working exp.
at small firm?

发帖数: 2098 | 6 Generally true for your statements on changing firms, but it always depends
on your own credentials and expertise.
As for your law school plan, don't think about that. Your only bet on gettin
g a big firm associate position (assuming you take full-time JD) is to get t
he top grades in your first year. Little to do with your previous experience
.

发帖数: 5184 | 7 It's tough, because you are comparing apple to orange. In that case, it very
much depends on your own preference.
Between the two you have, I'd lean towards the big firm, but the concern is
they don't have prosecution practice. With your strong tech background, you
may not go very far with this firm. The limitation with the boutique is
obvious.
Ideally, maybe keep looking for a big firm that has both litigation and
prosecution?

发帖数: 596 | 10 advisor跟着个attorney一起group，赢了大家分钱哈。如果要去law school的，是做litigation还是prosecution区别很大么？我看我的专利大部分technial description内容就是把我的paper copy paste一下。claim倒是律师写的，不过写得太水了，好多没cover住。由此可见，prosecution没啥。

发帖数: 496 | 13 Go with whichever firm that sponsors your law school tuition. I'm trying to
figure out how you are going to juggle between litigation practice and part
-time law school... tough either way. maybe keep looking for GP w/
prosecution practice??? |
