2018 Patent Law Interview Program – July 26-27 in Chicago

Loyola University Chicago School of Law is hosting the 2018 Patent Law Interview Program on Thursday and Friday, July 26-27 in Chicago, Illinois.

This is a nationwide interview program that targets rising 2L and 3L students as well as students in Intellectual Property LLM programs. Last year roughly 150 patent law employers, 190 accredited law schools, and 1,200 law students from across the country participated in the program (approximately half of the participating students were selected for interviews). The program offers qualified law students (engineering or technical science degree holders; you do not need to be patent bar eligible to register, although the vast majority of employers participating in the program are seeking patent bar eligible students) from across the country the opportunity to interview with patent law firms, as well as law firms, corporations, and government agencies with patent law departments.
