Please join Industry and Professional Programs for an exciting panel discussion on Patent Careers for Engineers on Monday, October 7th at 2:30 p.m. in ECE 269. Are you curious about the world of patents and intellectual property? This event is your chance to explore the dynamic field of patent careers. Did you know that with just a degree in engineering, you’re eligible to take the Patent Office’s Registration Exam to become a Patent Agent? Patent Agents can make up to $20,000 a year more than similarly situated engineers and scientists. Our panel of experienced IP attorneys and a representative from the Practising Law Institute (PLI) will share their insights on patent career opportunities for engineers, preparation for the Patent Office’s Registration Exam, and the unique challenges and rewards of working in this field.
Our panelists include:
