This guide will give you an idea of what it is like
being a Patent or Trade Mark Attorney at Mewburn Ellis.
We have tried to give a feel for the day-to-day work – including both the good and the bad bits of starting out as a Trainee. We are sure you would prefer a realistic picture before you invest your time and energy in applying for a career in which you could spend many years! This is both a stimulating and rewarding career, ideally suiting someone with a curious mind, a desire to develop new skills and an interest in life-long learning.
"Building a career in the IP profession offers intellectual stimulation and challenge, lifelong learning and the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse range of people. If you’re someone who enjoys thinking critically about language, is generally curious and inquisitive but also keeps an eye on the commercial side of things, this could be the profession for you"
