Secondary IP Markets
Obviously it is a niche field (more specifically-patent).
But after NYC, DC, Houston, SF, and Boston, are there any other cities with somewhat sizable patent law markets?

I guess I was thinking more along the lines of areas like Philly, South Florida, SoCal, Atlanta, NJ?

Re: Secondary IP Markets
seattle and denver should have decent ip markets given their prevalent industries
phoenix has a decent ip market (intc and mot have offices here)

Re: Secondary IP Markets
I've heard that the Research Triangle in NC has a decent amount of IP. I can't remember the name of the firm, but I found one in the area with a bunch of bio PhD's.

Dallas and Houston. Plenty of patent work for energy companies. They also provide great opportunity for TR and TM issues.

Is it safe to assume that any city with sizable, respectable research hospitals has some form of biotech/pharmaceuticals going on?Anonymous User wrote:Do you know if there's much biotech IP work in those cities?basetommyball wrote:Dallas and Houston.

Re: Secondary IP Markets
One more question-any city where a pharmaceutical company is headquartered, is there going to be significant patent work there?
For instance-Johnson & Johnson and Merck are both in NJ-does that mean there is a lot of patent work in NJ?
Wyeth is in Philly...

No. There will be drug trials and research going on, but you want to be where the companies that commercialize such research are.dreman510 wrote: Is it safe to assume that any city with sizable, respectable research hospitals has some form of biotech/pharmaceuticals going on?
"a lot" is too strong a qualifier to hang on one drug company. Yes, Wyeth will generate IP work, but probably enough to keep a few lawyers at one firm busy.dreman510 wrote: One more question-any city where a pharmaceutical company is headquartered, is there going to be significant patent work there?

Re: Secondary IP Markets
Not really. Just because a company is headquartered somewhere doesn't mean that the IP work will be done there. For instance, I'd imagine the majority of NJ pharm IP would go to NYC or DC. It really isn't that strange, for big and powerful companies, to use IP firms on the other side of the country. The firms tend to be located in larger cities: DC, CHI, SilVal, NYC, LA, HOU, with decent markets also in like ATL, STL, even a little in DET. Your best bet is to look at the larger cities, even if not the premier markets, since more firms will be found there...dreman510 wrote:One more question-any city where a pharmaceutical company is headquartered, is there going to be significant patent work there?

Re: Secondary IP Markets
Yea, not as much as SF-SilVal, but still a large amount. If I had to rank IP markets, I'd probably have LA at 5, behind DC, SF-SilVal, Chi and NYC, in that order...dreman510 wrote:So LA has decent Patent practices?starstruck393 wrote:Not really.

Re: Secondary IP Markets
That's my opinion, yea. Chi seems to have a more developed IP culture going on. NYC's no slouch with IP, but I'd say the market in Chicago is bigger...dreman510 wrote:NYC at #4, behind Chi?starstruck393 wrote:Yea, not as much as SF-SilVal, but still a large amount.

Re: Secondary IP Markets
Which one of these areas/schools do you think offer greater job prospects for biotech patent? Houston UofH, SilVal Santa Clara or LA Loyola?

Re: Secondary IP Markets
The big question is where do you want to practice. I'd say, in an abstract, IP sense, the order is Santa Clara, UH, Loyola LA. Santa Clara probably has the best IP program out of the three, and is in the best IP market, but UH is the best overall school, and isn't bad for IP (I know a Chi biglaw partner who does biotech IP and went to UH, for instance). Loyola seems to be lacking behind. But location is big. Santa Clara would win in SilVal, UH in TX, and Loyola would most likely beat out Santa Clara in LA.matrix637 wrote:Which one of these areas/schools do you think offer greater job prospects for biotech patent?

Objectively, I think the best biotech market out of those would be SilVal, but you'd also have the stiffest competition, whereas UH would give the best odds competition wise. I'd personally pick between those, based on which area you'd rather be in...
