Application for PPP Trainers
The National Council on Patent Practicum, Inc. (NCPP) oversees the Certified Patent Practitioner (CPP) program, which credentials individuals who have demonstrated experience, proficiency, knowledge, and understanding of patent drafting and prosecution.
For this paid training position, the NCPP is seeking experienced patent attorneys having a minimum of five years experience in patent drafting and prosecution to train our Patent Pipeline Program (PPP) participants comprising engineers and scientists who aspire to work as technical specialists, patent agents, or patent attorneys. The training will prepare them to take the CPP exam, which is designed to measure an individual’s ability to successfully prepare and prosecute patents in front of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Trainer will also be responsible for grading CPP exams and PPP exams.
The experienced patent attorney must have a Patent Registration Number and preferably would have a technical background and experience in prosecuting patents in any of the Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, and/or Computer Science fields. The preferred candidates would also have experience with training/mentoring and will be available for remote training during some weekday evenings and over some Saturday afternoons.
