Opportunities
2012 Patent Law Interview Program
Student Registration
Student registration will begin on Monday, Feb. 13, 2012 and end on Monday, March 5, 2012. We will provide additional information about student registration next month. The student registration link will be located at http://www.luc.edu/law/career/patent_students.html.
Please note that students do not need to be patent bar eligible to register for the Patent Law Interview Program. However, many employers make patent bar eligibility a requirement for bidding, and most employers prefer patent bar eligible students. Although a number of employers indicate on their registration forms that they are willing to interview students who are not patent bar eligible, it is our experience that non-patent bar eligible students are generally disappointed as they do not receive many interviews or job offers through the Patent Law Interview Program.
Questions? Visit http://www.luc.edu/law/career/patent_schools.html for more information on this year’s program. If you cannot find the answer to your question from the website, we invite you to email Law-PatentProgram@luc.edu for assistance.
