We secure intellectual property rights for prominent companies as well as highly creative start-up businesses. Our clients include many well-known household and industrial names and are at the forefront of technological development in the electronics, engineering, chemical and biotechnology sectors.
At the core of the job is the preparation of patent applications on behalf of clients. This involves understanding an invention, distilling it down to its key features and then writing a very clear and broad-based description of it, such that a Patent Examiner will be persuaded to grant a patent. Around that core skill, a Patent Attorney will be called upon to advise clients on all aspects of patent procedures, on international patent protection and on effective patent strategies.Some of the things we love about our jobs are:
The opportunity to apply your science or engineering degree to a wide cross-section of clients and technologies.
Continuing intellectual challenge - you never stop learning.
Excellent career opportunities and financial rewards.
The international aspects of work providing ample opportunity to travel.
