After passing the exam, the person becomes a patent agent and is qualified to represent and advise inventors on their patent applications before the USPTO. Barnes & Thornburg LLP, a full-service law firm with a strong intellectual property department, is hosting an event for Purdue graduate students pursuing a degree in biology, pharmacy, molecular biology, immunology, genetics, and similar fields. Becoming a patent agent is a great alternative career path for scientists who don’t necessarily desire to be laboratory-focused but wants to utilize their scientific knowledge on a daily basis. If you are interested in learning more about this career path, please attend B&T’s event where students can learn how to become a patent agent and what the job entails.

Lunch will be provided to those who attend!
