If
you are a patent attorney or agent, it helps to think like an examiner.
Sunday, February 16, is the last day to sign up for the Stakeholder Training on Examination Practice and Procedure (STEPP) agent/attorney three-day course on May 12-14 at the Thomas P. O’Neill, Jr. Federal Building in Boston.
Our
trainers will lead this course based on material developed for our
employees. Training will focus on how our examiners review patent
applications according to the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP). Similar to entry-level examiners, each trainee will use a sample application for the exercises.
The USPTO is applying for CLE credit in Maine and Vermont for this course.
You can learn more about the program and upcoming sessions on the STEPP page of the USPTO website.
