Society is changing rapidly and I feel that our clients’ requirements for patent attorneys are also changing day to day in response to that. We should innovate ourselves and become the patent attorneys that society needs, instead of passively following and studying the latest technologies , or instead of blindly continuing to do the work that we have been doing simply because it is what we are used to. |
