A lot of the people in the profession have gone to top universities (mostly cambridge, oxford or imperial etc), and a lot of them do have degrees at masters level or beyond. That being said, I have also seen people in the profession that have not gone to Russell Group Unis etc and do perfectly well in their careers. There are also some firms that almost look to exclusively hire from target unis whereas others are less bothered about that. I would not say it is definitely not the be all and end all- as long as you are a clear communicator and can grasp complex technical concepts (and can communicate that in an interview) i would say that is the main thing.
Great video! If you're a patent or trademark attorney reading this, we are Fellows and Associates and provide job opportunities in the IP sector! Get in touch and we can help you make that move!
Bummer, that's not all that impressive. I was thinking of giving it a go thinking it'll be ridiculously well paid, even as a trainee (like some finance graduate schemes). It's a good salary for a fresh grad. But it will rise very incrementally until you're fully qualified, which will take 3-4 years and a lot of exams. For Ph.D.'s however, which patent law firms love to hire, it's not a great incentive. You can make that much as a postdoc. More in industry, especially after 1 year of experience.
@@GMA20494 I'm thinking of doing biomedical sciences as a degree after college, but I want to be a lawyer so will I have to do two degrees to be a patent attorney? Like a law degree as well?
