Why a Career as a Patent Attorney?

Over your career you will develop into an important partner for businesses and inventors who are seeking advice and protection for their inventions. From drafting patents to defending them, you will be required to get under the skin of leading innovations.
The training process to become a qualified Patent Attorney is a challenge (one we hope you’ll relish) and typically takes 4 – 6 years to get both UK and European qualified.
