The 2013 Patent Law Interview Program will be held on Thursday, August 1 & Friday, August 2 in downtown Chicago. Each year employers from across the country (including Silicon Valley firms), and roughly 1,500 law students participate. About HALF are granted interviews!
Patent bar eligible* or focused 1L’s and 2L’s, should make this a top goal! Loyola is the earliest interview program, so participants gain first access to coveted summer associate positions. The Program offers several unique networking and interviewing opportunities specifically created for students interested in practicing patent law. Major law firms increasingly rely on centralized hiring and recruitment events, and Loyola is the premier national event for both patent firms and patent law students.
Registration is now open and ends on Monday, March 5.

*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.
