Research has shown that the patent bar is far from inclusive.  We must work together to create foundational programs and opportunities that reduce barriers and provide all individuals with a clear path into the patent field.

Patent Pathways® is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to addressing barriers to equal opportunity in the patent bar through free, virtual education, practical exercises, and financial support. The goal is to transform accessibility to the patent bar by providing each participant with the tools needed to take and pass the patent bar exam, begin their pathway into a career in patent law, and promote inclusion in the field.

The generosity of our program partners and sponsors make this a possibility. Your support allows individuals to partake in the program, register for the patent bar, and jumpstart their career without incurring the financial burden. 

Patent Pathways® is an equal opportunity initiative and does not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age (40 or older), disability, genetic information, or any other protected class.
