2024 National Patent Application Drafting Competition: Registration extended to Saturday, November 11
|
|
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) invites law students studying patent law to participate in the 2024 National Patent Application Drafting Competition (NPADC). The competition introduces students to issues arising in U.S. patent law and develops their patent application drafting and prosecution skills.
Registration closes Saturday, November 11.
Student teams will receive a hypothetical invention statement for which they will search the prior art, prepare a specification, draft claims, and present their reasoning for patentability before a panel of judges comprised of patent examiners, practitioners, and other members of the intellectual property (IP) community.
The invention statement will be released to the competing teams in mid-November. The virtual regional rounds will be held on Saturday, March 9, 2024, and will include up to 15 teams in each region. The winner from each regional round will be invited to compete in the national finals before a panel of senior USPTO officials and other esteemed judges at USPTO headquarters on April 12, 2024.
To learn more, access the competition information and registration instructions on the USPTO website.
