#IPLAWJOBSPTO: SPECIAL TWITTER CHAT ON NEW TRADEMARK EXAMINING ATTORNEY POSITIONS OPENING [OCT. 23, 2018 AT 2 P.M. ET]

Our employees have said it best: a career in intellectual property law and public service at the USPTO is their dream job.

Why? Because they are:

  • Challenged – Trademark Examining Attorneys get to work with a wider variety of subjects than almost any other area of law
  • Trusted – Trademark Examining Attorneys work independently and are trained to make quick, decisive and accurate legal decisions
  • Rewarded – Bonuses are offered for superior work performance, both in quality and in production
  • Passionate about IP – Trademark Examining Attorneys take a lot of pride in serving the public by helping entrepreneurs pursue their dreams

We are hosting a special Twitter chat to connect with IP Law professionals and provide information about upcoming positions for Trademark Examining Attorneys. We’ll answer questions in real-time about our job opportunities and how to apply; bonuses and promotions; training and mentorship; great pay, benefits and more!

The above flyer has all of the information on how you can join @USPTOJobs using our hashtag “#IPLawJobsPTO.”  

Take a moment to read Cameron’s story and get to know more about who we are. Then, be sure to send us your questions ahead of the chat next week on Twitter or LinkedIn!

PRESIDENTIAL MANAGEMENT FELLOWSHIP (PMF) [DEADLINE: OCT. 22, 2018 BY 12 P.M. ET]

It provides some sustenance during the first years of employment and encourages development of leadership capabilities. The PMF Program inculcates a lasting bond as well as a spirit of public service, ultimately encouraging and leading to a career in the government.

The “2019 PMF Assessment Preparation Guide” has been posted to the PMF website and can be found under the Become a PMF\Assessment Process section.

  • The Guide explains the 2019 PMF assessment process, includes sample questions, explains the process for requesting a reasonable accommodation, and identifies the system requirements for completing the on-line assessment.

Applicants are reminded to check the Become a PMF section of the PMF website for any updates to the Guide or 2019 Application Timeline.
