There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Are you a recent or soon-to-be biomedical, computer, electrical, or mechanical engineering graduate looking to launch your career? Already established in the field and want to embark on an exciting new direction? Do you enjoy working at the cutting-edge of innovation, and would a career in public service be meaningful to you?
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is currently hiring entry-level patent examiners, and if you answered "yes" to any of the questions above, we want to meet you!
Join us for one of two Patent Examiner Recruitment Open Houses in Atlanta and the Washington, D.C., metro area in February. Space fills up fast, so follow the instructions on the event pages in the city of your choice to reserve a spot.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office strives to make its events accessible to persons with disabilities by providing reasonable accommodations—e.g., sign language interpreters, alternative formats for written documents, and assistive technology. Many accommodations require time to schedule and plan effectively. If you would like to request an accommodation, please notify the Office of Human Resources at (800) 786-9757, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Alternatively, you can contact the USPTO's Office of Equal Employment and Diversity at (571) 272-8292 or OEEOD@uspto.gov.
