DESCRIPTION:Intellectual Property (IP) covers various types of
  legal rights that can help protect a business fro
 m competitors.  For example\, trade marks can help
  protect a brand\, whilst patents can help protect
  a technology.  However\, registering and using th
 ese rights can involve navigating a complicated le
 gal system.  As a result\, there are various caree
 r opportunities for technically-minded individuals
  - for example as a patent examiner (working at th
 e patent office) or as a patent attorney or solici
 tor (working on behalf of an inventor apply for a 
 patent).  Particularly when working as a patent at
 torney or solicitor\, the ability to be able to un
 derstand and work with very different technology a
 reas is key.  Chemical Engineering and Biotechnolo
 gy\, with their focus on cross-disciplinary learni
 ng\, make for a perfect background for entering su
 ch professions (or\, at least\, so thinks the spea
 ker!).\nBio - Dan is a patent attorney working at 
 J A Kemp\, in London.  He was a member of the Chem
 ical Engineering department from 2000 to 2007\, fi
 rst as an undergraduate and then as a PhD student.
   Despite entering the course from the 'chemical' 
 side\, Dan's interests moved more to the 'engineer
 ing' side of the subject\, and he now handles a ra
 nge of electronic and mechanical patent work\, as 
 well as inventions in more traditional chemical en
 gineering and biotech fields.  He also has experie
 nce of working on secondment as an ‘in-house’ pate
 nt attorney for a biotechnology startup.
