The educational requirement for a patent examiner position is a Bachelor of Science or higher degree, in one or more engineering disciplines. Our job fair is to recruit highly skilled, motivated individuals with degrees in electrical and computer engineering to become patent examiners.

 

Effective oral and written communication skills are a must and will be assessed as part of your application for the job. U.S. citizenship is also required. Our job fair is for candidates with degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering only. Interested individuals with degrees in mechanical, chemical or biomedical engineering, computer science, or physics are invited to fill out an online application at www.USPTOcareers.gov

 

As a Patent Examiner, you will be the recommending/deciding official as to whether the U.S. government will grant exclusive rights to patent applicants for their inventions. You will receive both formal and hands-on training on the legal and technical requirements for the patent. Your responsibilities will include doing research in the field of technology of that assigned patent application, performing technical and legal patent analysis, and generating a written report to the patent applicant of your findings. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is a performance-based organization; therefore, your performance ratings and awards package are based upon established quality, timeliness, and productivity measures.

 

The USPTO, an Equal Opportunity Employer, is dedicated to building a diverse workforce and provides an enticing work environment supported by flexible work schedules, a casual dress policy, and payment of a transit subsidy.  There is a substantial benefits package including enhanced federal government salary rates, vacation and sick leave, performance bonuses, health benefits, and a comprehensive retirement package, not to mention job security.  In addition, the Office supports a law school tuition reimbursement program for examiners meeting program criteria.
