How difficult is it to get into IP law without a STEM background? Is a career only doing soft IP realistic?
Hi :) I will be applying to law school this fall and am currently interested in pursuing IP law. My undergraduate degree is in journalism, and I have worked a lot with the Athletics department on my campus with branding, content production, etc., over the last three years. Since deciding on a career in the legal field, I have naturally drifted towards IP law, and specifically, trademark and copyright law, due to my interest in protecting creative media and content creation.
I know that a STEM background is necessary to take the patent bar and for several IP law careers, so I was curious if a career in IP law is worth pursuing (considering job availability and income) without the ability to do patents?
Thank you!
