I understand your concerns completely.   I have a BSMS (Business Management Systems), a BSCS out of UW-Madison, and a MSE in computer engineering from MSOE.  I was told I didn't have the requisite courses to sit for the exam.

As it turned out UW-Mad isn't an approved school,  nor is MSOE.  After a one year Cat Fight, it turned out that I needed to retake physics I and II which they accepted from UW-Waukesha (go figure).

I passed the exam first time, once I got passed the red tape.

If they object to your course work,  email me and I'll help you through it.   You have to want it pretty bad to get in.

Thank you RMissinmer for your candid and informative reply. I understand the uphill battle with USPTO and I'm fine with that.

My greater question to you is, how do hiring patent law firms view you as an BSMS undergrad and MSCE postgrad? Have you found your position to be about as marketable to firms as a typical CS undergrad?

In your experience and if you were in my position, IT undergrad and MSEE, do you think that firms would hire or skip over a candidate such as myself?

Thanks
