  • Ready to launch your career as a Patent Examiner with America’s Innovation Agency?

Consistently ranked as one of the best places to work in the federal government, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has been serving the economic interests of America for more than 200 years. The USPTO is the federal agency responsible for granting U.S. intellectual property rights for patents and trademarks. The agency’s efforts have provided inventors exclusive rights over their discoveries. Such efforts continue to contribute to a strong global economy, to encourage investment in innovation and cultivate an entrepreneurial spirit for the 21st century. This work spurs the kind of American innovation that can change the world.

The USPTO is strongly committed to hiring the nation’s veterans and aims to be the employer of choice for veterans. USPTO’s veteran employees have a proven track record of success after transitioning from the military into federal service. Veterans meaningfully contribute to the USPTO’s mission that provides a system of protection to safeguard American ingenuity through new ideas and investments in innovation and creativity.
