Agents and attorneys: Learn to think like an examiner

Gain a better understanding of how examiners make decisions at the Stakeholder Training on Examination Practice and Procedure (STEPP) agent/attorney three-day course on October 16 - 18 at the Ted Weiss Federal Building in New York City.

In-person courses are led by USPTO trainers and based on material developed for training USPTO employees. Training focuses on how our examiners review patent applications according to the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP). Similar to the way we train entry level examiners, attendees will use sample applications as the focus of exercises.

The USPTO is applying for CLE credit in New York for this course.

Use the STEPP sign-up form to register to attend.

You can learn more about the program and upcoming sessions on the USPTO website.
