Sign up for the 2011 patent agent examination
A reminder that you have until November 30, 2010 to sign up. I’m told the Canadian Patent Office does not, under any circumstances, accept late entries. Good luck - you will need it given last year’s 14.8% pass rate (they’ve made it too hard, in the author’s opinion).
The details of the 2011 sitting were published in a recent CPOR:
2011 Patent Agent Examination
Under the provisions of subsection (2) of section 14 of the Patent Rules, notice is hereby given that the 2011 examination will be held on April 12, 13, 14 and 15, 2011. A person who proposes to sit for the examination must notify the Commissioner of Patents in writing, file an affidavit or statutory declaration referred to in subsection 2 of section 12 of the Patent Rules and pay the prescribed fee. The deadline to apply, submit the affidavit or statutory declaration and pay the fee is November 30, 2010. When applying, it is essential to indicate which paper(s) will be written.
Additional information on the patent agent exams is available on this CIPO page.
