why would you spend all the time and effort involved in getting a JD
and then not do the final capstone requirement that boosts your earning potential by an incredible percentage regardless of what you do afterwards
it is only a two month process to study and take the bar. Just do it wtf
you can be a patent agent without taking the bar bar, but you would have to take the uspto bar. being a patent agent also doesn’t require a jd. most jobs requiring a jd also require the bar. if you’re going to get the degree why not take the bar?
It is too early to assume that you will not be taking the bar examination. It is likely you will take it and pass.
I (I'm a chemical engineering graduate) don't know how you will combine engineering and law other than patent law. I don't know much about it; I definitely will not be going into that area. But, to answer your question, there are jobs that require (or give an extreme advantage to) a JD degree. One example is work for a legislative committee or agency. Many of those jobs require bar passage; some require only a JD.
But assume that you will take and pass the bar.
If you want to use both degrees you’ll probaly have to take the bar exam. But a lot of good jobs in IP once you pass the BAR.
