The Legal Experience and Advancement Program (LEAP) is designed to help develop the next generation of patent practitioners by enabling them to secure oral advocacy opportunities before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. Development of legal skills through practical experience allows advocates to effectively support and represent their clients’ interests.
This webpage recognizes the law firms and corporations who supported LEAP-eligible practitioners in actual cases during the first two years of the LEAP program, from May 2020 to May 2022.
