I see from your statement, that if you did graduate college, it was
not in
the hard science disciplines.

I see you're mistaken. I was a double major... biology and English
lit. The
former is one of the requirements for being a patent attorney.

I also see that you have no logical argument, thus your pathetic
attempt to
put me down.

Man up Bill.

You said nothing about degrees. So a patent attorney needs only a
biology degree?

You need to have a bs in order to become a patent agent. Biology
qualifies. There are very specific requirements. I also have a JD/MBA
also if that makes you feel better. Thus, I'm a patent attorney, not
just an agent. The pass rate for the exam is about 40%.

Here's a link that'll boil it down for you in steps even you can
comprehend..

I was category A with a bio degree.

When I was dealing with the patent attorney for my patent, I came to
the
conclusion that patent attorney has to be one of the most boring, least
mentally stimulating endeavors a JD can get involved in.

Yes, I'm sure you came to that conclusion. All kidding aside, it
actually can be festinating work. Some patents are pretty mundane, not
to
diminish them too much, but they can "solve" a problem that's a pretty
small problem. Some others, however, are really interesting, and I had
an
opportunity to really use my bio degree to delve into the subject. In
some
cases, I was able (as many patent professionals are capable of doing) to
influence the idea itself and certainly influence the time/effort
required
to get the patent granted.

As I said somewhere else, I don't/won't work with corps any more. It
wasn't so much boring as frustrating.

"Festinating" work would not be boring.

Didn't even realize it was an actual word..

Truly you didn't, D'Plume. Your supreme intellect must have written
the word off as mere gutter slang so it didn't register in your
cranial Thesaurus .
