Jason Fischer’s Summary
I am currently working towards my J.D. with the intention of pursuing a career in Intellectual Property law. With my undergraduate degree in Computer Science, I am eligible to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This, combined with my considerable professional experience in the software industry, makes me an ideal candidate for a position with a law firm that provides intellectual property services to technology companies. I intend to participate in all levels of IP protection and capitalization, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and licensing thereof.
