You must take and pass the Patent Bar. You must take and pass a state bar exam. Once you are registered as an attorney with the USPTO, it doesn't matter what state you are barred in. You may practice anywhere in the US, because patent law is federal law.

You should take the state bar of the state in which you plan to reside. If you are unsure, it might be a good idea to take CA, since there is an exam to waive into admissions there, but other states allow you to waive in by motion only after practicing for 5 years.

How To Work With A Federal Criminal Attorney?

A federal criminal attorney is usually assigned to cases that involve federal crimes. Federal defense attorneys are provided to people who have been accused of a crime and can’t afford an attorney. If you are involved in a federal case, you will find that you probably interact with a federal criminal attorney from both sides. Defense or Prosecution A federal criminal attorney can work for the prosecution or for the defense. The defense attorney is hired to help the accused individual prove that they did not commit the crime. This attorney works closely with his or her client to find evidence to exonerate them. The federal criminal attorney who works to defend the government’s case is called the prosecutor. This attorney’s job is to prove that the accused individual did commit the crime. Both attorneys have the power to call witnesses and present evidence for both sides. When You are a Witness There is a chance that you will be contacted to serve as a witness during a federal criminal trial, especially if you were involved with the situation in any way. When a federal criminal attorney contacts you, it may be a good idea to consult with an objective federal criminal attorney who is not part of the case. The second attorney can give you information regarding your rights as a witness, and help you determine when you should testify or refuse to testify. There may be consequences to refusing to testify, and the attorney can explain them to you. The Difference Between Federal and State Criminal Attorneys Federal criminal attorneys usually charge much higher fees than state attorneys. They also have more time to work on each case because the federal court system tends to move more slowly than state systems. Most federal criminal attorneys have higher academic records than average state attorneys, as well. Federal attorneys spend their time studying federal law so that they can fully understand every part of the system, whether they are prosecutors or defenders. A federal attorney doesn’t work as closely with local law enforcement. They tend to work more cases that involve federal agencies, like the FBI, instead of state police.
