I am a grade 2009 student of the Intellectual Property College, and now I am working in intellectual property in a large state-owned enterprise. First of all, this major is definitely very marketable at present. Now that the country is vigorously promoting intellectual property strategy, many companies or law firms are in need of talents in this field. When we were recruiting, we just chatted a few words and was hired by the company.
As for the liberal arts background you mentioned, in fact, there is great potential in intellectual property invention. Generally speaking, those engaged in patent document writing or application must have a science background; however, there are many other inventions that do not require a science background, such as those engaged in intellectual property management, specifically responsible for PCT applications (law), patents Document translation (foreign language), patent litigation (law), patent benefit management (economics) and other aspects are all jobs that liberal arts students can do.
In addition, to quote the words of the CEO of Sany, what China’s intellectual property field lacks now is not generals but handsome talents, because it is still difficult for people engaged in patents in China to find people who can freely use intellectual property to create benefits for enterprises. , most of them are those who write patents. In fact, most of the patents are just in quantity and have no actual value. I think you students should think more about this aspect.
