Sign-Up Closing Soon for USPTO’s Agent/Attorney 3-Day Course

Sunday, Sept. 23, is the last day to sign up for the Nov. 6-8 STEPP Agent/Attorney 3-Day Course. Open to the public as part of the USPTO’s Stakeholder Training on Examination Practice and Procedure (STEPP) program, the course will be held at the Chicago-Kent College of Law, Illinois Institute of Technology.

The course covers statutes, rules, and guidelines relevant to practice before the USPTO. Attendance is limited to those who have passed the patent bar, with priority given to those who most recently passed. The course is led by USPTO trainers and uses training materials developed for patent examiners.

More information, including a proposed upcoming course schedule, is available on the STEPP page of the USPTO website.
