Hi,
I am employed as a "Technical Specialist" in a patent law firm. My duties in LC are listed as assisting attorneys to prepare and file patent applications.
Recently, I passed the Patent Office Exam to become a patent agent. But with limited recognition allowing me to file patents only for my law firm's clients. After GC, I will get full recognition.
Can I be promoted within my law firm from Tech Speciliast (which is a assistant like position) to Patent Agent (which enables one to file patent independently, but is still with limited recognition since I do not yet have a green-card)? Promotion naturally means more salary, but will the put my LC is jeopardy in any way?
Thank you
WB
