An exciting opportunity has arisen for a bright and ambitious trade mark Attorney to join our successful, growing, and friendly trade mark team.
We work for a wide range of clients with well-loved household name brands, of all shapes and sizes (up to some of the largest global portfolios, but with a healthy mix of smaller clients too).
The Team
We pride ourselves on having a close-knit, friendly team. We are also at the cutting edge in using technology and data to deliver our services, with technology and operational specialists working alongside us to help us work as efficiently as we can.
Our trade mark prosecution team is not huge but is growing, and there are lots of opportunities for ambitious junior candidates to get stuck in and to progress their career. The team is highly integrated with our wider IP team, and there are good opportunities to work on wider matters too using trade mark skills (and to get friendly sense-checks from specialists on things like licensing and litigation).
Responsibilities, Experience, and Skills
* Qualified or Part-Qualified Chartered Trade Mark Attorney.
* Strong knowledge of trade mark laws, preferably some experience of instructing non-UK work for global trade mark portfolios.
* Proficiency in conducting trade mark searches and managing trade mark watches (but training available).
* Providing advice for trade mark and design filing strategies (with support from senior).
* Filing and prosecuting trade mark and design applications through to registration and liaising with local agents regarding national applications worldwide.
* Assisting with pre-opposition work, and with preparing and filing opposition, cancellation, and revocation actions.
* Attention to detail, strong analytical skills, and excellent written and verbal communication skills, and a team-minded approach.
