Starting in the fall semester next year (2013), PatBar® will provide a free Webinar each semester for law school students who are interested in finding out more about Intellectual Property (IP) law. The Webinars will last approximately 35 minutes and may be accessed by registering for the presentation sometime before the program starts (http://patbar.com/webinar).
Students will log onto the above Website to register for the Webinars. The first Webinar will be at 5:00 pm Eastern Time on Friday, October 4, 2013, but registered students may access the Webinar at any time after that. A second Webinar, with different content, is planned for 5:00 PM February 7, 2014.
The Webinars will provide relevant information for both engineers and science majors, who may be primarily interested in patents and patent law. It will also be for law students who are interested in other categories of IP law, such as trademarks, copyrights, antitrust law, etc. We will review aspects of the patent bar, job interviews, and writing samples so that law students will be prepared for interviews as a 2L, and for summer internships as a rising 3L.
Our instructor is David Meeks, who is the founder of PatBar® and a patent attorney. Mr. Meeks has been involved with patents from his first job out of engineering school as a development engineer. He produces the patent bar review course that our company sells today, and is also an astute observer of how law school students may make the best of their law school experience.
