Loyola University Chicago School of law is hosting the 2016 Patent Law Interview Program on Thursday, August 4 and Friday, August 5 in downtown Chicago, Illinois. The 2016 Patent Law Interview Program will be accepting registrations from:
- JD students graduating in May/June 2017
- JD students graduating in May/June 2018
- JD students graduating in December 2016/January 2017
- JD students graduating in December 2017/January 2018
- Students in Intellectual Property LLM programs with anticipated graduation dates in 2017 and 2018
Each year roughly 1,500 law students register for the program, submit their resumes and transcripts, and bid on interviews with the nation-wide employers that interest them. The program is entirely employer selected – which means that participating employers review the materials submitted to them and choose the law students they are interested in interviewing at the program. Roughly half of the students registered for the program are selected for interviews each year.
Students with undergraduate or graduate degrees in engineering or a technical science should consider registering for the program. You do not need to be patent bar eligible to register, although the vast majority of employers participating in the program are seeking patent bar eligible students.
For more information on the program, please refer to the Loyola Patent Program website at: http://www.luc.edu/law/career/patent_students.html.
Online student registration for this year’s Patent Law Interview Program is open and will close on Thursday, March 10. Registration is accessible here: https://patentlawregistration.luc.edu/lawstudents/Default.aspx
At this stage of registration, you will only need to enter some basic information (you will upload your resume and bid on interviews later in the semester). Please note that our school is listed alphabetically as New York University School of Law on the registration form’s drop down menu of law schools.
There is a non-refundable $35 registration fee for which you will not need to pay; NYU Law will be covering all registration fees for students.
