Patent Careers for Engineers and Scientists
Thursday, Feb. 27, 2025
4-5 p.m.
4-5 p.m.
Those who have obtained or soon will obtain degrees in engineering, computer sciences, or the hard sciences (such as chemistry, biology, physics, and related disciplines) are eligible to take the exam. Patent agents have the potential to earn up to $20,000 more per year than similarly situated engineers and scientists and are one step closer to a career as a patent attorney. The exam is available virtually on-demand via computer.
Topics will include:
- an overview of the work and where to find opportunities
- qualities and skills necessary for success and satisfaction in the field
- up-to-date information on the patent office's registration exam
