PA Tech Program

A component of SIPJF, the PaTech Program connects students with a patent license or an interest in technical advising with potential intellectual property employers. PaTech employers seek science, engineering or technology students who are interested in new innovations and ideas, have exceptional creative and analytical skills and/or are familiar with intellectual property.

PATech candidates do not need to have a J.D. or be enrolled in law school.
