Intellectual Property Attorneys With Advanced Degrees

core/heading

In most cases, the attorneys with experience in the chemical and biotechnology industries possess an undergraduate degree, advanced degree or doctorate in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering or a closely related field. In addition, many have substantial real-world industry experience developed prior to becoming intellectual property lawyers. Others have acquired knowledge in particular areas through years of representing entrepreneurs and businesses in these matters. As a result, clients can expect nothing less than comprehensive, well-considered guidance and break-through thinking — no matter what challenges or new endeavors the future brings.
