This very cool post by Daphne Huberts reminds us that IP can be fun. and what can be more fun than telling stories about IP? join us this Tuesday, October 8, for an IP-story sharing event. Register here: https://lnkd.in/dqq9hdqC The rules are simple – tell a story about IP.  There is no recording, but please keep the stories anonymous.  No questions or comments are allowed, except in the form of a story.  You can be spontaneous, but I would be happy if you DM me ahead of time so we get some sort of roster set up. To help prime the story pump, consider any of the following subjects:   A mistake you made - that came out ok, or not The coolest invention i saw Unique clients Client insight that was better than mine "i told him so" Unexpected or weird rejection Unexpected application of a new technology Difficult investor Licensee pulling a trick Cool strategic or tactical move How IP was aligned (or not) with a business/goal Difficult examiner  Happy stories about how IP saved client or helped client succeed IP that was ready when client decided to pivot The IP that cinched the exit vs the IP that killed the investment Language added by the patent attorney that later saved the patent Dr. Benjamin DELSOL (PhD, LL.M) #myipstory #ipsharingiscaring

Do you want to be Patent Attorney but haven't managed to get into the profession? Well, if you have knowledge of computer programming and software development as well as interest in communications technology we can help! It's very rare that we recruit entry level positions into the IP profession, extremely rare in fact. Most of the time you have to apply directly, and it can, as you may have found, be tough. This particular option is therefore unusual for reasons I'll explain when you get in touch... P.S. If any of my patent attorney connections are seeing this and have had someone ask for advice on entering the IP profession, if they have a relevant technical background, please point them in my direction. #patent #graduatejobs #intelletualpropertylaw #intellectualproperty #patentattorney

I wish I'd known about the patent attorney career path sooner. Had I been told about it at school, or at university (college for my US connections!), it would definitely have appealed. As it was, I remember hearing about this stuffy intellectual property-based job from my university friends studying law; it sounded like endless reading of dry documents when all I thought I wanted to do was real science/engineering. What I discovered was that real science/engineering amounted to a fair bit of reading and writing dry documents, and limited amounts of actual research. The research that did happen was frustratingly slow-moving. In contrast, as a patent attorney, I spend most of my time problem-solving legal conundrums, learning about cutting-edge technology from some of the finest minds in their fields, and understanding how that technology fits into the plan for a business. I relish working with founders, CTOs and in-house IP departments to understand the commercial challenges, then give them the benefit of my IP knowledge and experience to do everything possible to enable those businesses to grow and thrive, making the best use of their technological developments. It won't be for everyone, just those people that love problem solving, learning about science (and business), and are rewarded by helping others realise success in their chosen field. If you know anyone studying (or thinking about studying) science or engineering, this lesser-known career should be presented to them as something they should know about.
