[luau] Interested in Becoming a Patent Agent?

[W. Wayne Liauh]

One of the career opportunities that I don't see much publicized on the 
islands is becoming a Patent Agent.  (If you have a law license then you 
will be called a patent attorney.)  This is a professional license 
(probably the only professional license) that will entitle you to 
practice your profession in all the 50 states plus Puerto Rico and Guam. 
 I have also known quite a few patent attorneys with superb computer 
knowledge.  For anyone who may be interested, the following info is the 
first step:

The patent agent exams take place twice a year.  The next exam will be 
held on April 15, 2003.
