At the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), we have a rich legacy of identifying the pioneering work of America’s greatest inventors and entrepreneurs. We’re currently hiring skilled Biomedical, Computer, Electrical, Industrial and Mechanical engineers to become patent examiners who will work at our headquarters in Alexandria, VA and use their expertise to help protect this country’s game-changing innovations. In this role, your efforts give inventors exclusive rights over their discoveries.
What does a patent examiner do? A patent examiner reviews applications to determine whether patents can be granted for inventions. Patents give inventors the right to exclude others from making or selling their inventions for a limited time. As a U.S. patent examiner, you will handle these basic patent examining functions:
Search prior art to ensure that an invention is new and unique. Prior art is information that has been disclosed to the public about an invention before a given date – including any related patents, published articles and public demonstrations.
Review patent applications to ensure conformity to formal requirements.
Write legal office actions on patentability and respond to patent applications.
