Patents Law

I thinking about going into this field, does anyone have any info about it? I have a degree in Chemistry and (hopefully) a PhD.

Well all types of intellectual property really, but it seems that patents attorney is the most likely step for me.

Cool. A lot of people with a chemistry background go into IP.

This might interest you http://www.cipa.org.uk/

Have you been to any public research lectures on this field? It might come in handy, though I've never been yet.

Thanks, will check out the link.

I've been to a couple at Nottingham. It just looks like a career in academia is going to be a bad option (9 month contracts round the bend). Whilst I was doing my industrial placement in Switzerland I got involved (albeit in a very minor capacity) in drawing up a patent and it seemed quite interesting.

By the sounds of it you might be interesting in becoming a patent agent.

Does the Nottingham lectures you've been to have a website so I can see and go?

No problems. Nottingham is a bit too far for me anyway. South East is idealistic - London and Oxford :biggrin:
