[quote=Anonymous]I've been a Trademak Examiner for 20+ years.  The trademark side and the patent side are very different. There are quotas on both sides but I don't feel like the quotas are too burdensome.  You have to work steadily but you get more efficient with experience.  You get excellent training and support.  There is a lot of flexibility.  I work from home full time.  I have a toddler (I'm a very old mom and he is adopted for those of you doing the math) and I'm able to flex during the week if he has a doctor appointment or he gets sick.  The work can get repetitive and tedious but isn't that the way with many jobs?  You always know what is expected of you and if you meet whatever goal is set you will get promoted along with the rest of your colleagues.

The trademark lawyers are represented by an effective union.  The work at home program started on the trademark side 23 or so years ago with 18 examining attorneys and the union worked in partnership with management to get it done.  We have the only maternity/paternity comp time program in the federal government thanks to a union contract.  We get bar dues reimbursed. (Only one state admission)

For the poster who is thinking of applying to the trademark side, I'm happy to chat further.  [/quote]
