While working for the University of Mississippi Department of Technology Management Transfer Office a student should expect to be responsible for maintaining an up to date information on pending and issued patents. Students will be expected to do prior art searches, meet with inventors to discuss pending patents, and conduct market research to assess the profitability and licensing opportunity for patents. Furthermore, students should expect to review and brief actions from the United States Patent and Trademarking Office. Students should further expect to hone and improve their legal writing and research skills all while participating in a truly exceptional mentorship environment. The one student selected for this placement in the fall or spring semesters, (students are not placed here for the summer term), works with a small staff of three attorneys in the Technology and Management office, conveniently located on the Ole Miss campus.
