If you are a student with an undergrad degree in engineering or the hard sciences (chemistry, biology, physics, some computer science degrees) or the equivalent, and are interested in becoming a Patent Agent or Attorney, Practising Law Institute (PLI) invites you to a presentation by Mark Dighton, PLI's Director of Law School Relations and a Director of their Patent Bar Review Course. Topics for discussion include:

-The latest info on the new computer-based Patent Bar Exam
-Who can take it
-When you should take it (you don't need to...and probably shouldn't...wait until you graduate to take the Exam)
-How the new Rules being tested beginning in October will impact the Exam, and
-Recommendations on when and how to study for this very difficult Exam.

Scholarships to PLI's other IP programs will also be discussed.

For those who are interested in the patent bar exam, we've created a listserv at nyls-patbar at googlegroups so that students can ask each other questions while studying. Anyone can subscribe - visit the group home page at http://groups.google.com/group/nyls-patbar for more information.

In addition, we're in the midst of setting up the PLI workshop and aiming for a date in early November (6th or 7th). More details to come.
