THE LOYOLA PATENT LAW INTERVIEW PROGRAM [JULY 26-27, 2018] [STUDENT REGISTRATION: MAR. 1, 2018 – MAR. 23, 2018 AT 11:59 P.M. CST]

The Loyola Patent Law Interview Program is a two-day interview program held in Chicago each summer that brings together patent law employers and law students from across the country to interview for summer associate positions and post-graduate employment.

Each year roughly 1,500 law students register for the program, submit their resumes, 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 resumes 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.

*Please note: 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.

Who: The 2018 Patent Law Interview Program will be accepting registrations from:

  • JD students graduating in May/June 2019
  • JD students graduating in May/June 2020
  • JD students graduating in December 2018/January 2019
  • JD students graduating in December 2019/January 2020

Where: Embassy Suites Chicago – Downtown/Lakefront, 511 N. Columbus Drive

Complete details: Available @ luc.edu/law/career/patent_students.html

Registration: Available @ patentlawregistration.luc.edu/lawstudents/Default.aspx

(*the CP&P Office will be paying for your $35 registration fee)
