Loretta Said:

Do you need work experience to be a patent attorney?

We Answered:

No, it is not a requirement. In addition to a standard state bar exam, a patent attorney must also pass a patent bar exam administered by the patent and trademark office (PTO). In order to sit for this exam, you have to have taken X number of technical credits. With a BSEE, you qualify to sit for the exam.

Having real world work experience in a technical field is a plus on your resume. It, however, is not a requirement. All of the major patent law firms regularly hire kids right out of school who have no real technical work experience. The most important factors for hiring kids out of law school is generally what law school did they go to (i.e., is it a top ten school or a school with a well respected patent law program), how are their grades, and does their personality fit with the firm.

So it is not a requirement, just a plus on the resume. That said, I would advise anyone interested in going into patent law to first get some real world technical experience before going to law school (e.g., 2-5 years). It will provide you with an understanding of the engineering/business culture that will help you in the field. Law schools also like it, so it will enhance the likelihood of you getting into a top law school.

Do you need work experience if you want to go for your MBA in business?

We Answered:

No. There are 3 ways to go.

1. Right after undergrad completed. Grades, GMAT and work experience all play a role. The stronger one or more of these components, the less relevant the others to acceptance.

2. MBA online.

3. Executive MBA (typically requires employer sponsorship and work experience of a nature that adds value to the student population's classroom/study team process.

Schools like Northwestern have sites around the world - so you may be able to start here and finish elsewhere abroad.
