Trade Mark IP Internship

As an Intellectual Property Intern, you will have the opportunity to work closely with our team of IP attorneys and professionals. This internship program is designed to provide you with both hands on experience and exposure to various aspects of IP Law via class-room based learning, similar to the training provided to our trainee attorneys when enrolled at our HLK Academy. What exactly do trade mark attorneys do? A trade mark attorney advises clients on all aspects of trade mark usage, protection and enforcement. At the core of the job, a trade mark attorney will be called upon to conduct clearance searches to ascertain whether trade marks are free for use, and to file and prosecute trade mark applications, drafted to reflect clients' commercial interests. He or she will also be actively involved in international portfolio protection and management, as well as in a wide variety of contentious matters, from oppositions, revocation and invalidity proceedings to trade mark infringement issues. 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.
