"I am developing my practice to include PTAB proceedings. Sterne Kessler provides plenty of opportunities to cultivate the skillsets for PTAB success, but it is no surprise that more senior attorneys often handle oral advocacy opportunities. The PTAB’s Legal Experience and Advancement Program (LEAP), along with Sterne Kessler’s familiarity with and support of the program, opened the door to provide this experience for me. The additional oral argument time provided by LEAP made it an easy decision for the firm and client to have me present at the oral hearing alongside one of our directors. The firm provides ample resources to prepare for oral hearings, including a dedicated moot court room to practice presenting and responding to questions in an environment similar to the PTAB. The experience of preparing and presenting in front of the PTAB was invaluable to my development as an advocate for our clients and has given me more confidence for future oral hearings at the USPTO and beyond." – Associate and moot LEAP participant Mike Webb At Sterne Kessler, LEAP has strong support from firm leadership, advising directors, eligible practitioners, and clients.
