    The College\u2019s registration program ensures individuals applying to write the qualifying examinations have completed the required approved training requirement.<\/p>

    Applicants who have not completed their training in Canada may apply to the Registrar to have some or all of their prior training and\/or education recognized toward the approved training requirement.<\/p>

    Applicants must demonstrate how their prior experience and\/or education provided them with the competencies required to practise as a patent agent and\/or trademark agent before the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (\u201cCIPO\u201d).<\/p>

    To be eligible for consideration, prior experience and\/or education must have been completed:<\/p>

    1. Under the supervision of a registered patent or trademark agent\/attorney who is engaged in or has substantial experience in preparing, presenting and prosecuting patent or trademark applications in the jurisdiction in which they are registered, if the applicant was not registered themselves in that jurisdiction;<\/li>
    2. As a registered patent or trademark agent\/attorney in another jurisdiction; or<\/li>
    3. Through an academic institution authorized by the laws of that jurisdiction to administer academic course and\/or programs.<\/li><\/ol>
