Notice of Examination For Registration Wednesday, August 27, 1997 Pursuant to the provisions of 37 CFR 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7, an examination for persons seeking registration before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as patent attorneys and agents will be held on Wednesday, August 27, 1997. This date has been chosen to accommodate, wherever possible, the interests of the individuals expected to apply for the examination. The deadline for filing applications along with the $40.00 non-refundable fee and the $300.00 examination fee and all necessary showings required by 37 CFR 10.7(a) and (b) is May 2, 1997. With the exception of those persons who actively served four years or more in the patent examining corps of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for whom the examination may be waived, all persons who wish to become recognized to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in patent cases must, pursuant to the above noted rules, pass the examination. Note that passing the examination does not qualify one for recognition for practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in trademark cases. Such recognition is governed by 37 CFR 10.14 which does not require the passing of an examination. Application forms may be obtained from the Office of Enrollment and Discipline, Crystal Park One, Room 518, 2011 Crystal Drive, Arlington, Va., by mail addressed to U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Box OED, Washington, D.C. 20231, or by calling (703) 308-5316-x-18.
