What is a patent attorney and how to be one

Sarah Phillips - part-qualified Patent Attorney at Abel & Imray - has written a blog for Murray Edwards College which gives an insight into her 'career path' and her passion for getting more women into IP careers.

She writes:

Having graduated from New Hall (now Murray Edwards) college in 2006, I now work as a Patent Attorney covering technologies in the fields of Physics, Engineering and ICT.  Alongside working, I am studying for the qualifying exams.  Having a science degree is a requirement for entry to the profession; there is plenty of law to learn but it is learnt “on the job”.
