USPTO Patent Pro Bono Program Chicago Hub Now Available

If the attorney accepts the inventor, the match is made and the inventor is advised to contact the attorney. The attorney and client sign an engagement letter, and the Hub and inventor sign a referral agreement, setting out the inventor’s obligations in order to continue in the program. Some of those obligations include an agreement to cooperate with the attorney, to meet deadlines, to respond promptly to requests for information, and to inform the Hub if there is a significant change in income. The attorney is offered the opportunity to have a Chicago-Kent student work with him or her and the inventor at no cost to the firm.
