Becoming a patent attorney in US, Canada, UK, Australia?
Dear readers, I will be soon graduating from a pharmacy school in Australia with a Bachelor of pharmacy. I became interested in patent law as I studied pharmacy law throught out the course. First of all, I would like to know what the salaries of a patent attorney are like in US,Canada, Australia, and UK. It seems like a law degree is required in order to become a patent attorney in the US, but not in the other three mentioned above. In that case, would I be eligible to work as a patent attorney in US after obtaining the license from Canada, Aus, or UK? (By just taking the bar exam issued by the state, without advancing to a graduate degree) And how hard are the license exams in each of the four countries? Any detailed replies are appreciated!

You would NOT be required to become an attorney to practice patent law in the United States - you can become a patent agent. The best resource for this information is the USPTO website. You are eligible to take the Patent Bar Examination if you have had a required number of science credits (in your case, it doesn't sound like that should be a problem), you can take a quick course to assist you in the review or rely on online materials and once you pass the exam you are a registered patent agent. It would probably be most useful to gain experience through a law firm, being hired on as a scientific advisor, and these positions can start at $50K but that would be before taking the examination - upon successful completion they would pay you at least $70-80K which would rise to around $90K-$100K once you've gained experience. All of that is in US dollars. My understanding is that it's a bit more complicated in UK (I looked into it a few years ago) but again, all that information (and more up-to-date than what I might remember) will be available on the European Chartered Institute of Patent Attorney's website. Good luck!

It doesn't really work like that. You can't just enrol into school at age 40. I think the latest you can enrol if you're from another country is age 18 and that's starting year 12. But for example say if you're an athlete, or you're sick you can do your final years of high school over 3 or 4 years. So hypothetically you could be 20 and still at high school.

We don't have elementary schools in the sense of the US. Our school system is Primary School for K (Kindergarten as opposed to pre school) - Year 6 and High School for year 7 to year 12. Also most of our schools don't have a mascot in the US sense. They may have a school animal, though even this is rare now. The vast majority of our schools are public, and they take enrolments based on the area you live in. In some special circumstances they may take students from outside an area. As a general rule the best public schools are the ones on the North Shore and eastern suburbs of Sydney, they are also some of the largest. We do have private schools, and the vast majority of these are religious based. Also many private schools are a primary school and high school combined, therefore take K - year 12. Some also have Prep which is a pre Kindergarten schooling. Some of the private High Schools do ave what's called feeder schools, which are primary schools that feed into those high schools, in which case it's best to contact the individual schools. The best of the best private school in Sydney is Kings School, and is highly prestigious and expensive. A good school on the outskirts of Sydney is Broughton Anglican College, which takes Prep to year 12. Also keep in mind that many private schools also are selective, in that you need a certain academic level to qualify for entry, money alone won't do. Generally our public school system is quite good, some schools suffer a severe lack of funding, however academically they are up to scratch and many students from the public system go to university and have very good careers. In fact a number of our Prime Ministers, including our current one, came through the public schooling system.

Can the SAT be used? I'm guessing the ACT can't seeing as that is "American College Testing".
