Help the next generation of patent practitioners

2025 NPADC logo

 

We’re looking for a few more patent practitioners to help us judge the regional rounds of the 2025 National Patent Application Drafting Competition, which will be held virtually March 1.

As a guest judge, you'll evaluate draft patent applications, score the 20-minute preliminary oral presentations, and offer feedback. Your input will help determine which law students nationwide will present their draft applications in the final round of competition this spring at the USPTO headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia.

Judges' registrations are due February 17 to allow sufficient time for training before the regional rounds.

If you’d like to be part of this unique opportunity, please email NPADC@uspto.gov for more information and the link to register.
