Agents and attorneys: Learn to think like a patent examiner

If you are a patent attorney or agent, it helps to think like an examiner. Get a better understanding of how examiners make decisions at the Stakeholder Training on Examination Practice and Procedure (STEPP) agent/attorney three-day course on April 20-22 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Our trainers lead in-person courses based on material developed for our employees. Training focuses on how our examiners review patent applications according to the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP). Similar to entry-level examiners, each trainee will use a sample application that will be the focus of exercises.

The USPTO is applying for CLE credit in Puerto Rico 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 STEPP page of the USPTO website.
