The Patent Law program fascinates me as an opportunity to develop my legal acumen, strengthen my ability to effectively argue the intricacies of ideas, and boost my ability to manage a wide variety of technological innovation. I expect that every course within the Patent Law program will directly influence my role at the University of Minnesota and the services offered to researchers. Furthermore, with both a Ph.D. and M.S. in Patent Law on hand, I expect to retain tremendous marketability for positions in the future; especially with the top-spending R&D companies in the world, or the law firms representing them.

Technology is a core element of what drives the world, becoming more and more important than before. I chose M.S.P.L. to train myself as a strong candidate to be a part in that process, not as an engineer but on the legal side. In the future I hope to work as a patent practitioner who can work internationally with the PCT contracting parties in Asia.

I have always had an interest in the law field and a curiosity for learning about new inventions. After earning my Electrical Engineering degree, the M.S.P.L. program was a logical choice that combined my passions. I hope to work as a Patent Agent or Patent Examiner.
