New SSMP Trainee Hosting Program Established
In addition to the annual Summer Training Program, the firm is pleased to announce its first ever Trainee Hosting Program.
The new program officially started in early May 2012 and will run through March of 2013.
This program differs from our Summer
Program not only in that it runs for ten months, but also because it focuses solely on one trainee, instead of a small group.
SSMP welcomes our very first Hosting Program Trainee, Keitaku Kanemoto from Omron Corporation of America. Mr. Kanemoto will
be consulting with Scully Scott on U.S. patent prosecution and litigation to get assistance in his function
as Manager of Intellectual Property for Omron U.S. The firm has established a team of attorneys to work one-on-one with
Mr. Kanemoto during his time with us.
