Title: Writing samples at interview
Post by saintlos on Dec 18^th, 2007, 6:00pm

Hi,

I've heard that the interviewers like to ask the potential patent agent/attorney to present them with a technical paper or an article that they wrote.

1) Is that true?
2) If it's true then I have a problem, because I don't have anything of that sort. Can someone suggest what can be done to improve the situation? And how much time/effort should I put into that? (How about creating one or two new articles in Wikipedia, on some CS/EE topic - the IP segment I'm targeting - would that be beneficial?)

Many thanks!!
