phone interview with HR to get to know your details and salary range offered. 2 rounds of interview. First round with HR and senior patent examiners. Was of normal difficulty with a 2nd round if selected further with higher company management.

The interview process was well-structured and professional. Interviewers were knowledgeable and focused on both technical understanding and analytical thinking rather than purely memorization-based questions. The discussions were relevant to my engineering background and gave good insight into the patent examination role. Communication throughout the process was generally clear, although the overall timeline could be slightly lengthy due to multiple review stages.
