At NLO, we believe that an intellectual property firm does more than simply provide prosecution services. Our goal is to work with clients in a long-term partnership aimed at protecting their innovations and delivering added value. We do this by applying for, obtaining, defending and maintaining intellectual property rights (IP), including trademark, design, copyright and patent rights on a global scale.
NLO are looking for students finishing their Master's degree or PhD with any of the following backgrounds; Mechanical/Electrical engineering, Telecommunication & Software, Physics, Chemical engineering, Biotech/Lifescience and Pharma.
As a trainee patent attorney, you join one of our sector teams (Chemistry & Pharmacy, Life Sciences, Physics & Engineering, Telecommunications & Software). Within your team you are partnered with an experienced patent attorney and coach to be actively involved in the day-to-day business from the start. You also follow the Dutch and/or European Professional Training Course for Patent Attorneys, which focuses on legal knowledge, as well as communicative and practical skills. After passing the exams, you will become a chartered Dutch and/or European patent attorney.
Open application or applying for a specific trainee position within your expertise area.
Two interviews followed by assessments.
