Is it okay for me to work on a contractual basis while I am unemployed as a patent prosecutor
[00:00:00] Okay. Let's see here. So this is from a patent prosecutor. So this is a good question. It's just, is it okay to take on contract work? While unemployed? Yeah. 10 prosecutors are different types, types attorneys. There are the expectations of a patent? Private prosecutors are much different because it's science.
And so patent prosecutors compared to other practice areas, it's almost like a different, whole different type of thing. But yes, you could certainly take patent process, contract, patent prosecution, if you're unemployed as a patent attorney. There's nothing wrong with doing that.
And I might have a different opinion of you were talking about a different practice area if you were a corporate or something, but I think that as a patent prosecutor, I do think it's perfectly fine to take on Projects. I would also say there was a patent prosecutor as a patent prosecutor.
I don't think you need to be unemployed. I think most patent prosecutors are very employable unless you're, I saw a resume the other day of someone that graduated from college and I don't know, there's something like [00:01:00] 1952. I couldn't believe it, which I think means that the person must be, they must be in their nineties, so they were looking for a job.
It was very funny. And they had been working recently, so I don't know how that's even possible. But it is but the point is that there are so many jobs for patent prosecutors out there and there are so few patent prosecutors compared to other things you can always move states because it's federal.
There are just lots of things you can do. I've got plenty of people in their seventies and so forth jobs as patent prosecutors. There are a lot of things out there.
