The FIU Law Career Planning & Placement Office welcomes Mark Dighton, Esq., Admin. Director, Patent Office Exam Course, for a presentation for law students interested in becoming a patent attorney/agent!

If you are a student with a degree (or at least two years of coursework) in engineering, computer science or the hard sciences (chemistry, biology, physics, or related fields), and are interested in becoming a Patent Agent or Attorney,

Practising Law Institute (PLI) invites you to a presentation by Mark Dighton, PLI's Director of Law School Relations and Administrative Director of their Patent Office Exam Course.

Topics for discussion include:

·         The latest info on the Patent Office Exam,

·         Who can take it,

·         How it works (it's on computer and “on demand”),

·         When you should take it (you don't need to…and probably shouldn't…wait until you graduate), and

·         Recommendations on when and how to study for this very difficult Exam.

Scholarships to PLI's other IP programs will also be discussed.
