April 21 is the last day to sign up for the June 20-22 Stakeholder Training on Examination Practice and Procedure (STEPP) 3-Day
Inventor Course. The course is offered to members
of the public at the USPTO headquarters in Alexandria, Va.
This course is provided
through a partnership between the Office of Patent Training and the
Office of Innovation and Development. It is designed to provide stakeholders with a better understanding of how and why an examiner makes decisions while examining a patent application. As a prerequisite, those
accepted will be required to review several computer-based training modules prior to the start of the course. More information, and a
proposed upcoming course schedule, is available on the USPTO STEPP page.
