Continuing Professional Education Providers

The Professional Standards Board for Patent and Trade Marks Attorneys no longer accredits events, seminars conferences with a specific number of CPE hours.

The Board has published Continuing Professional Education Guidelines. The guidelines outline what are acceptable CPE activities and provide a summary of CPE requirements.

The PSB Board agreed to publish a list of the providers of CPE activities and the list below is current at September 2010. Please note that this is not an exclusive list and attorneys can access learning activities to satisfy CPE requirements from any suitable provider.
