Learn to think like a patent examiner


If you are a patent attorney, agent, or inventor, it helps to think like a patent examiner. Get a better understanding of how examiners make decisions at our Stakeholder Training on Examination Practice and Procedure (STEPP). Whether in-person, or online, these courses are led by USPTO trainers and based on material used by USPTO employees. These courses are free, and continuing legal education (CLE) credit may be available.
