2015 Patent Law Interview Program – Chicago, IL – Student Registration Deadline Monday, March 9, 2015

The Loyola Patent Law Interview Program is a two-day interview program held in Chicago each summer that brings together patent law employers and law students from across the country for summer associate and post-graduate positions. Each year roughly 1,500 law students register for the program, submit their resumes, and bid on interviews with the nation-wide employers that interest them. The program is entirely employer selected – which means that participating employers review the resumes submitted to them and choose the law students they are interested in interviewing at the program. Roughly half of the students registered for the program are selected for interviews each year. The 2015 Patent Law Interview Program will be held Thursday, July 30 & Friday, July 31 at the Embassy Suites Chicago – Downtown.
