I applied online. I interviewed at US Patent and Trademark Office

Question 1
What is the role of patent examiner and how does your background help you become a better examiner?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at US Patent and Trademark Office (Tacoma, WA) in Apr 2023
Interview
Done through MS Teams. Basic behavioral questions, understanding of the position, and specific in-depth questions about your resume. They sent a lot of videos to watch beforehand, which I highly recommend viewing because they will ask questions related to it.
