Patent Paralegal/Administrator

Our client, a high-profile firm of Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys, has capacity in their Oxford office to welcome a Patent Paralegal/Administrator. Reporting to and managed by the Paralegal Services Manager, this really is a defining role if you are seeking a new home in which to place your IP skills, talent, and enthusiasm.

Ideally, you’ll be CIPA qualified Patent Paralegal/Administrator and IT savvy with a working knowledge of Inprotech, keen to learn new systems and procedures. However, candidates with strong transferable skills who work in a legal or other professional services environment will also be warmly considered. The crux of this team-oriented position is to work alongside and fully support 2 Patent Partners and their Technical Assistants across a variety of tasks, a few of which include:

1. Maintaining patent records
2. Obtaining information from IP related websites such as the EPO
3. Preparing client reports
4. Updating and monitoring recordals
5. Maintaining fee earners' diaries
6. Arranging travel itineraries
7. Preparing invoices

Immersed in the formalities of an IP life cycle, being organised and efficient to ensure that all processes run optimally is vital.

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are key here; you’ll be client-facing, dealing with enquiries, providing varied information and updates to ensure that their service and experience is first-rate. In return, your professional development and well-being will be supported within this progressive and friendly environment.
