If you are a student with a degree (or at least two years of coursework) in engineering, computer sciences or the hard sciences (chemistry, biology, physics, or related fields), and are interested in becoming a Patent Agent or Attorney, Practising Law Institute (PLI) invites you to a presentation by Mark Dighton, PLI’s Director of Law School Relations and a Director of their Patent Office Exam Course. The presentation will be held on October 23 at 5:15PM in LB60.

Topics for discussion include:

·         The latest info on the Patent Office Exam,

·         Who can take it,

·         How it works, now that it’s on computer and “on demand,”

·         When you should take it (you don’t need to…and probably shouldn’t…wait until you graduate),

·         How the America Invents Act and recent US Supreme Court cases have impacted the Exam, and

·         Recommendations on when and how to study for this very difficult Exam.

Scholarships to PLI’s other IP programs will also be discussed.
