<p>Hi</p>
<p>My friend is interested in medicine and patent law and was wondering if a masters is good enough for doing patent law if his major is in biochem? He said that a lot of people who don't do engineering say at least a masters, maybe a phd is almost required for patent law, so he was wondering if a masters is fine, especially if he gets it from a really good school. He doesn't want to do a phd because he says it takes too long and doesn't want to do engineering because it's not his interest, so is a masters fine? Also how much will it hurt him to do just a bs in biochem if he chooses to do that?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
