Presentation on careers in patent law and the Patent Bar Exam

Viterbi School of Engineering Career Connections
Workshops & Infosessions
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 Bar Exam to become a Patent Agent. Patent agents usually make about $10,000 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 Bar Review Course. Topics for discussion include: Careers for patent agents (what the work is like and where you find it), and
The latest info on the Patent Bar Exam (who can take it, how it works, and recommendations on how to study for this very difficult Exam). Please visit us on the Web for a wealth of information on the resources we offer:
