Re: What to do for patent if you strike out at OCI?
To be honest, I don't know all the details. I worked in IP for a few years, but not in the patent department. The reason I suggested it, is that there should be numerous legal jobs available here. Good hours, solid pay, etc. If you were top 1/3 I'd imagine you'd have a shot...

Tried looking up the hot list, but I cant find it. Anyone have a copy?dood wrote:USPTO job is not easy to get in this economy - according to friends who are examiners/part-time students and summer intern/full-time students at GW. And they only very recently (last spring) opened up apps for examiners again. If you couldn't land a small IP firm boutique, you will have problems with USPTO.
My advice: pass the patent bar, spam every firm, even the ones with 3-4 people, on Kathy's "hot sheet" of IP practitioners in whatever area you're in.

I think that it might be too early to contact smaller firms. Every one I've contacted has said that they're not looking for anyone right now.
