Patent Interview Questions

1,595 patent interview questions shared by candidates

The first two knowledge areas had multiple choice or short-answer questions. The "communication proficiency" was a short essay question, as well the scientific understanding required you to write an abstract based on a provided patent application. All of this was pencil on paper rather than a digital exam.
