Typical patent lawyers have better lives than Biglawyers, they're more present and middle class. But they also always have unending stacks of paper to work through, like Calvin's dad.

Patent is very different than BigLaw IP. There are some AmLaw 200 patent groups, but not V50.

There might be 1-2 Patent Pro groups left in V50 but it’s dying. Nobody is paying big law rates for patent pros work. Even PTAB/IPR work is hard make work at big law rates, but many groups do.

But patent pro is way more chill. Never fire drills, steady work, you can always get a patent by watering down the claims and nobody knows it is worthless unless they go into litigation.

I’m guessing the partners are making 300k tops, but it’s not up or out.
