On Friday, October 26, 2012, the MS in Patent Law students went to Chicago to hear from Wade Green and Ashley Romano about what it’s like to work in a University’s Office of Technology Transfer.

We arrived a bit early, so the students could have an opportunity to explore the city. They saw the Bean (properly, “Cloudgate”).

Students also went exploring the culinary scene, and found a great pastry shop.

After the careers presentation, we headed to Chinatown for dinner. We shared hot-pot, and everyone had bubble tea! The floor of the restaurant had a “river” built into it, with real koi.

Look for a post soon about what the students learned about careers for patent agents in Universities!
