I know too much about lawyers and the opposite is true. There would not be enough work to specialize in patent law if it was just protecting intellectual property and this is not the most important use of patents, its controlling and inhibiting competition. Thats where the meat is and the lions share of billable hours comes from. This is also where the most egregious abuses of the process happen.
