Janice Logan - Patenting Scientific Insights

Dr. Janice Logan, PhD, JD is an alumna of the Johns Hopkins PhD program in Biomedical Engineering and Partner at Morgan Lewis, a prominent law firm that serves a wide range of clients including more than three-quarters of Fortune 100 companies. In this episode, we talk about various requirements and challenges related to successfully patenting insights in biomedical research and drug development. Janice also shares why science-related PhDs are in high demand in the legal field as well as recommendations for how PhDs can approach a career in intellectual property (IP) law, with or without attending law school. Furthermore, we discuss how women can succeed in traditionally male-dominated industries, through Janice’s own experience rising to the level of Partner at a law firm.
