Patent law affords numerous career possibilities for chemists seeking non-traditional pathways beyond bench research. One such career option is the practice of patent litigation before the federal courts of the United States. This presentation will examine careers in patent litigation by proceeding through a hypothetical patent infringement case. Law school and law firm options, as well as "non-traditional" avenues within patent litigation itself, also will be considered.
