Press Release

Now You Can Take the Same Courses
as the Examiners!

The USPTO Training Portal offers, via webcast, the same classes that USPTO patent and trademark examiners are required to take. The National Technical Information Service (NTIS), in agreement with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, introduces the USPTO Training Portal!

The patent process is not simple. There are numerous scientific and legal issues to navigate, not to mention specific language and techniques that can help improve your application. You may not know all the ins and outs, but the patent examiner does. Why? Because the examiner has specialized training!
