The National Patent Application Drafting Competition (NPADC) is a team competition that introduces law students to U.S. patent laws and regulations, and it seeks to develop each participating student’s patent application drafting, amending, and prosecuting skills. The competition started with 51 teams and is now down to the final five. Each team will defend their strategy to a live panel of distinguished judges drawn from the greater patent community.

The Path to a Patent quarterly series covers everything from intellectual property (IP) basics, to patent searching, to what you’ll need to draft and submit your patent application. The series is part of our ongoing IP training for independent inventors, entrepreneurs, and small businesses.
This free USPTO event series provides a comprehensive overview of the process for federal trademark registration and maintaining a federal trademark. Trademark Basics Boot Camp is offered regularly throughout the year.

If you are a small business owner or entrepreneur seeking to protect your brand and product identities, Trademark Basics Boot Camp is for you.
