What people are saying about US Patent and Trademark Office

Patent Prosecution

3 months ago

an 

Associate Attorney

Anyone have experience with being Patent Attorney (Law Clerk) at the USPTO? I’m a registered patent attorney but am currently doing general lit/transaction work currently. I had done US IP counseling work in a foreign government agency before to my current job, and currently only doing some TM prosecution for the firm’s clients. I want to see if working at USPTO would enable me to get into Patent/IP practice. TIA!
