US Patent and Trademark Office to hire 2,000 Patent Examiners

The CPPO has just learned that the United States Patent & Trademark Office will be posting a job announcement on www.USAJobs.gov in mid-October for patent examiner positions.  Their goal is to hire approximately 2,000 new patent examiners in the next year. This is an excellent opportunity for students with scientific and/or technical backgrounds to consider a career in intellectual property.

 Students can view www.USPTOcareers.gov to learn more about the positions and a career at the USPTO.
