Life Sciences Technology Specialist
A life sciences technology specialist at L&A uses their scientific training to work closely with attorneys to craft legal strategies to protect biotechnology inventions. In particular, technology specialists interact with clients and inventors, learn to draft patent applications, and gain experience in patent prosecution. Technology specialists have the opportunity to work as part of a team performing freedom to operate searches, opinion work, due diligence projects, and general intellectual property counseling. Some technology specialists choose take the patent bar to become patent agents, and attend law school to become patent attorneys.
