Does a B.S. In Economics make you desirable for IP?
I am looking at my options for law school. Does a B.S. in Economics make one a desirable candidate for IP law?

Why is that? I thought a math/science background opened doors to IP?

Engineering or hard science, like chemistry or physics. Economics is a social science.Northeast wrote:dr123 wrote:no

+1. Economics is not math or hard science. You don't get a patent for your macroeconomics projections.Cupidity wrote:ExactlyNortheast wrote:dr123 wrote:no

Math, also, does not qualify you for the patent bar. See the links posted by Rinkrat for a more detailed explanation

No, and in fact just a B.Sc in a hard science or engineering usually doesn't either. Although you can still take the patent bar.

I spend a lot of time doing independent pharmacological studies, will this qualify me to take the patent bar?

"IP" is such a fucking broad concept. You're going to have to be more specific. Patents, copyrights, trademarks?Northeast wrote:I am looking at my options for law school. Does a B.S. in Economics make one a desirable candidate for IP law?
Edit: It doesn't matter. The answer is no.

Bilski v. Kappos actually leaves this door open. Not that there is any demand for lawyers to patent projection models.coldshoulder wrote:+1. Economics is not math or hard science. You don't get a patent for your macroeconomics projections.
Also, why would C&F care that I feed my pet mice aspirin?
