The PTAB has announced the creation of a new Judicial Law Clerk Program modeled off the judicial law clerk program used in the federal courts. Judicial law clerks will gain experience working at the PTAB for a one-year term directly with one or more administrative patent judges (APJs). Judicial law clerks will assist on cases in all jurisdictions of the PTAB, including trials under the America Invents Act and ex parte appeals. Judicial law clerk positions are available at the USPTO’s Alexandria headquarters and all four regional offices in Detroit, Denver, Dallas, and San Jose, California. The position currently is posted on USAJobs and applications are due by Thursday, April 26. Interested candidates must have an engineering or science background, law degree, and bar membership in any state within 14 months of a hire date. For more information clink the link.
