I liked that I was given the responsibilities of an actual patent examiner, and I was able to work closely with an experienced patent examiner. I feel prepared to hold a job like this after graduation because of my experience.
What I wish was different
There was a lot of waiting around for my supervisor, and I would have liked quicker response times.
Advice
As a lot of questions in the beginning. You will be reading technical documents and deal with law procedures that you are not familiar with. Your supervisor is there to help you.
