Deadline to Register for Patent Law Interview Fair Coming Up!!!

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.

Questions and to Register: Check out http://www.luc.edu/law/career/patent_schools.html for more information on this year’s program. If you can’t find an answer there, please email law-patentprogram@luc.edu. The CPPO will cover the $35 registration fee for interested students, so please email Miranda Cave at mah60@uakron.edu if you plan to attend. Also, please note that you are responsible for all other travel expenses besides the $35 registration fee.
