Subject:
PLI Patent Bar Presentation
If you are a student with an undergrad degree (or at least
about two years of coursework) in engineering, computer sciences or the hard
sciences (chemistry, biology, physics, some 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 Bar
Review Course. Topics for discussion include:
* The latest info on the Patent Bar Exam,
* Who can take it,
* How it works, now that it's on computer,
* When you should take it (you don't need to…and probably shouldn't…wait until
you graduate),
* How and when the new Rules changes coming out of the Patent Office will
impact the Exam, and
* Recommendations on when and how to study for this very difficult Exam.
