The practicum will offer an opportunity for practitioners to hone their oral argument skills by presenting an AIA mock argument to a panel of sitting administrative patent judges.
LEAP is created to help less experienced practitioners gain standup courtroom opportunities in PTAB ex parte appeal and AIA proceedings, and which also offers free legal training in oral advocacy skills.
