JOIN Practising Law Institute (PLI) and learn about a career in Patents!

If you have (or will soon have) a degree in Engineering, Computer Sciences, or the hard sciences (Chemistry, Biology, Physics and related disciplines), you can take the Patent Office’s Registration Exam to become a Patent Agent.

Patent Agents can make up to $20,000 a year more than similarly situated engineers and scientists. The Exam is available virtually on-demand via computer. Becoming a patent agent can also be a step toward the even more lucrative career of becoming a Patent Attorney.

If this sounds intriguing, come join Practising Law Institute (PLI) for a presentation by Mark Dighton, PLI's Director of Law School Relations and a Director of their Patent Office Exam Course.

Topics for discussion include:

·         Careers for patent agents (what the work is like and where you find it),

·         The qualities and skills that will make you happy and successful in this field (e.g., communication skills)

·         The latest info on the Patent Office’s Registration Exam (who can take it, how it works, and recommendations on  how to study for this very                 difficult exam).
