Patent Competition - Looking for interested law students

Post by Student Life »

Posting on behalf of Prof. Amy Semet ....


The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is hosting the 2022 National Patent Application Drafting Competition. Interested law students may reach out to Prof. Amy Semet amysemet@buffalo.edu.

This competition aims to introduce law students to issues arising in United States patent law and to develop their patent application drafting, amending, and prosecuting skills.

Student teams will receive a hypothetical invention statement for which they will search the prior art, prepare a specification, draft claims, and present their reasoning for patentability before a panel of judges comprised of patent examiners, practitioners, and high-profile intellectual property experts. Each regional winner will compete in the national finals on April 8, 2022.
