Founded in 2010 in Atlanta, Georgia, the Patent Institute of Training (PIT) was created to assist law students and graduates who did not possess practical patent preparation and prosecution experience to qualify for jobs requiring 1-2 years of practical experience.

Today, PIT is the leading training provider of practical intellectual property courses for engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, corporate personnel, and the legal community. Through its partnerships with regional and national law firms, PIT helps engineers and scientists to seamlessly transition into the patent industry by leveraging their technical skills and expertise.

What sets the Patent Institute of Training apart from other legal education providers?

Our commitment to hands-on, practical experience in every course. Students receive not only theory, but professional feedback and review of their work products by leaders in the IP law field. PIT teaches what works, what doesn't work, with expert engagement on why and how to create better IP strategies.
