Nope, youre wrong, but if you really did a google search, youre committed to staying wrong, so whatever. BTW, try google searching the difference between a lawyer and an attorney
There isn't really a difference and they can function interchangeably, but an attorney actually practices law in court whereas a lawyer may or may not. An attorney has passed the bar exam and has been approved to practice law in his jurisdiction. Although the terms often operate as synonyms, an attorney is a lawyer but a lawyer is not necessarily an attorney.

Depends what you want to do. Patent law and other specialities in high demand are.

Dont need law school to be a patent lawyer

Yes you do. You don't need it to be a patent agent though. All you need to do is pass the patent bar for that.

Nope. Maybe your thinking of a patent attorney, but "patent lawyers", patent agents, and patent judges do not need law school.

You are incorrect my friend. Lawyers and attorneys need to have a law degree. According to my quick google search.
