Innovation is the major driver for growth. Patent protection for technical innovations provides an important stimulus for companies and institutions to invest in the development and commercialisation of such innovations. No wonder that the commercial importance of patents is growing. NLO, a leading IP-firm based in the Netherlands and Belgium, is also growing and looking for candidates who are interested in becoming a patent attorney and who hold at least a Master’s degree in a scientific or technical subject.
What you will be doing
As a patent attorney, you play an important role in bringing innovation to the market. You will be dealing with the innovations of national and international companies and act as a sparring partner for R&D managers and their in-house patent attorneys. You will advise clients about the protection of their inventions and knowledge and actively help them managing and developing their patent portfolio. Within your team, you will be partnered with an experienced attorney and from day one you will be actively involved in the day to day business.
Who you are
Are you the future trainee patent attorney we are looking for and do you match this profile?
As a patent attorney trainee, professional training courses are required. The professional Dutch and European patent attorney training course starts in 2018. The courses generally involve one day a week, for three years, and focus on developing legal knowledge and communicative and practical skills. NLO pays for the entire training course and exams. In addition to the above, you are part of the NLO Academy. Together with all trainees you will follow a varied program throughout the year.
During this program you will develop personal skills as well as fundamental knowledge. You will have the opportunity to meet your new colleagues, exchange stories and share your experiences.
