Undergraduate Studying Mechanical Engineering

[mechEyes]

Hi, I'm an undergraduate studying Mechanical Engineering at Cornell University.
I'm very interested in both research and intellectual property law, so if anyone has any information, hmu!

Thanks

You have a curious combination of interests. In my own experience, very few lawyers think like research engineers, and very few research engineers think like lawyers. Maybe you will find an interesting slot as a bridge.

Welcome to the PF

We have a number of threads here discussing intellectual property and patents, and this thread:

https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/anyone-considering-a-career-as-a-patent-attorney.577550/

is a great discussion about patent attorneys. One of my good friends was a full-time ME, part-time paramedic, and part-time lawyer (overachiever). He is now a full time firefighter/paramedic (FF/P).
