Considering a career change from patent prosecution to IP litigation. For those who have successfully made the switch, which aspects of patent prosecution work are helpful / transferable to litigation? How do you go about selling yourself in the interviews (assuming the transition is for a junior associate)?

Re: Switch from Patent Pros to Lit
Responding to OAs is fairly similar to arguing non-infringement. If you did any IPRs, that would be directly transferable. But the most useful skill is probably claim construction and the ability to quickly come up with a infringement/non-infringement/invalidity position by comparing patents and references.Anonymous User wrote:Considering a career change from patent prosecution to IP litigation.
