Trade Secrets: Not Just IP Questions
It seems like a lot of law school students come to the IPTF thinking that they want to be “intellectual property lawyers.” But the concepts of IP bleed over into a lot of areas. For example, I’m helping a partner write a presentation on trade secrets; but neither of us are IP lawyers. And then what I’ve learned about trade secrets has helped me in writing up a non-competition agreement within a corporate acquisition.
So I think that when folks come in with an interest in IP they shouldn’t limit themselves to pure patent practice, but just leverage those interests into making an informed impact in broader areas that overlap with IP. It opens a lot more options for jobs, too.
