Become a Patent Agent |
 An
article on the IEEE website pitches a career as a patent research agent,
which might be a particularly attractive notion in this lousy engineering
job environment we now experience. A law degree is not required for
many positions. The average salary range for a patent agent is between
$52k and $143k, with a median of almost $90k. One of the first steps
in exploring the possibility is to download the United States Patent
and Trademark Office's (USPTO)
Manual of Patent Examining Procedure
(MPEP). Once you are prepared, you pay the required fee and take
the exam. I did not see anything that addresses what your chances of
being hired are if you pass, or whether you would need to reside in
