	Careers in Intellectual Property Law - Patent Practice
		The patent lawyer evaluates the utility, novelty and obviousness of the invention, and based on that evaluation and other business and technical considerations, advises the client as to whether a patent application should be filed on the invention.
		If the lawyer succeeds, a patent issues on the application, conferring on the patent owner the right to exclude others from making, using and selling the invention in the U.S. for a term which is normally twenty years for the date of filing of the patent application, unless extended under certain exceptional circumstances.
		Patent lawyers are also called upon to secure permission for their clients to make use of intellectual property owned by others.

	Texas Lawyer - Outsourcing Patent Drafting
		During drafting, a patent attorney or patent agent meets with an inventor, learns about the technology, and prepares a patent application that discloses and claims the invention in accordance with the somewhat Byzantine requirements of the USPTO.
		During the second phase, patent prosecution, lawyers typically present arguments to the patent examiner in support of allowance of the patent.
		Although companies potentially can outsource both phases, patent drafting is the best outsourcing candidate for two reasons: the larger attorney cost during this phase and the need for frequent interaction with the USPTO during the prosecution phase.
