  • Prepare official forms for UK, European, PCT and international patent and design applications
  • Monitor daily deadlines and prompt lists, taking ownership of routine matters where appropriate
  • Liaise directly with clients, the European Patent Office and overseas associates
  • Obtain case information using patent office portals and the firm's case management system
  • Coordinate translation requests and manage assignment documentation
  • Maintain intranet content and support wider administrative activities within the team
  • Attend team and practice group meetings and contribute to the smooth running of the department

Requirements

  • Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines
