Juris Doctor (JD) - Patent Law

Patent law is a specialized area of law which is a subset of intellectual property law.
An attorney must have a science background such as a degree in engineering, biology, chemistry or physics to become a registered patent attorney. Only registered patent attorneys can represent inventors seeking patents. Registration requires passing a special exam commonly called the Patent Bar Exam . Any attorney, however, can engage in other aspects of patent work such as patent litigation.

Applicants who received their first law degree (JD) in the U.S. must submit an official LSAT score. International students who received their first law degree outside the U.S. are not required to take the LSAT exam.
