Of Morrison & Foerster’s 112 summer associates this year across all the firm’s practices, 32 are PTO-qualified—they’re eligible to take the exam that’s required for practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. That usually means at least an undergraduate degree in a “recognized technical subject” like electrical engineering or biology.
