What are the prevalent industries in seattle and denver?sanpiero wrote:seattle and denver should have decent ip markets given their prevalent industries
phoenix has a decent ip market (intc and mot have offices here)
Don't know about Seattle, but there's biotech in Denver.dreman510 wrote:What are the prevalent industries in seattle and denver?sanpiero wrote:seattle and denver should have decent ip markets given their prevalent industries

amazon, boeing, and microsoft alone should allow seattle a good deal of IP activitydreman510 wrote:What are the prevalent industries in seattle and denver?sanpiero wrote:seattle and denver should have decent ip markets given their prevalent industries

Do you know if there's much biotech IP work in those cities?basetommyball wrote: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.

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?
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..
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?

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.

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.

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?
