Physics How Can Geophysics Skills Benefit a Career in Patent Law?

AI Thread Summary
A career as a geophysicist or geophysical engineer can provide a unique advantage in patent law, particularly in areas related to civil engineering and construction. Knowledge of geophysics is beneficial for patenting innovations such as improved structural anchors, well casing techniques, and retrofitting methods for unreinforced masonry. The discussion highlights the potential for geophysicists to engage in patent law by leveraging their expertise in due diligence and compliance related to geophysical practices. There is also an emphasis on the lucrative opportunities in patent law, including the potential for litigation in cases involving safety equipment and construction innovations. The intersection of geophysics and patent law presents a promising avenue for professionals in the field.

How does being a geophysicist or geophysical engineer in particular tie into becoming a patent law? How could geophysics be useful when doing patents?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I can see "gee-whiz" as a real edge in water law. "Patent law?" You averse to working with Civil Engineering and construction firms? "New improved structural anchors/footings," that kind of thing? Well casing techniques. Architectural designs, methods for retrofitting of unreinforced masonry. The "American Dream" is to sue someone and retire, and there have to be plenty of opportunities regarding "due diligence" and acts of "Geophysics."

Thanks and yes, I meant "patent lawyer".
 
Mine safety equipment (regarding actual material handling and stabilization problems) --- actually you might have more opportunities than you'll know how to handle.

Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
