You could probably do worse than this guy.

That's a great letter.

And he's probably much cheaper than these guys.

I do need a patent lawyer, actually, for my idea of an inflatable Christ on the Cross. Every home could have one, it could go up in the front room or in the garden at Easter. It would become as much a feature of our lives as the Christmas tree. A full-sized Redeemer nailed to a cross, and the deluxe version would have one of those ring-pull activated voicebox mechanisms like the old Action Men, that would say "Forgive Them, Father, They know not what they do". Hours of fun for the children.

Blow-up Jesus.

I have a friend who's a copyright lawyer. It seems to be a great field in law to be in. Dude gets flown to India for a day to be consulted, and gets paid obscene money. Apparently there's a scarcity of lawyers in that field.

So I told my son about him. Son wants to become a lawyer, and he fancies the copyright specialisation gig now.

If you sue me, the case will go to judgment, and I will hold the court's attention upon the merits of your claims--or, to speak more precisely, the absence of merit from your claims--from start to finish. Not only am I unintimidated by litigation; I sometimes rather miss it.

Ha! I like that man very much.

I suppose that this may form the basis of why I'm not a lawyer - every dealing that I have had with patents has been unspeakably awful from start to finish.
If patents are in the upper tier of things legal, then I shudder to think how horrible the rest is.

Is a patent lawyer like a normal lawyer but shinier?

Although both patent law and copyright law are both considered part of "Intellectual Property", they tend to be rather different in practice, at least in the US. Patent law is much more technical, and a significant proportion of people who practice in that area are also engineers. This isn't true of copyright lawyers (who tend to also work on issues of trade dress, counterfeiting, etc.).

Not to chill Pan Tau minor's professional aspirations, but there are downsides to having to take one day trips to far away places for work.
