Ngoc Le M.S.P.L. ’20

In the MS Patent Law degree program, I had a chance to work on real projects with practicing patent attorneys and receive informative and educational feedback, which I wouldn’t have had otherwise. In my patent field placement course, I worked directly on real patent matters with patent lawyers from an S&P 500 company, a global patent law firm, and a local patent law firm. In my patent Capstone course, I worked on a project for a multinational food, snack, and beverage corporation. And as a student intern for University Technology Commercialization, I worked on patent searching matters.

I highly recommend the Patent Internship experience, where I gained a better understanding of patent prosecution beyond what I learned in the classroom. I will hold on to this experience and learning for the rest of my career.
