    The firm

    Cleveland Scott York is a firm of patent and trade mark attorneys, with teams in London, Hertfordshire and the Thames Valley. CSY Europe adds an office in Munich. We provide comprehensive intellectual property services to a wide range of clients, including small and medium enterprises and multi-national corporations. We are a progressive firm with a knowledge-sharing culture and a reputation for excellence in training and professional development. We offer trainees a high level of support and encouragement throughout the qualification process, and we have a good record in helping candidates pass exams.

    The role

    You can expect a challenging and varied role, where your duties and responsibilities will expand in line with your knowledge and as your skills improve. You will gain experience in all aspects of patents, or trade marks, and related disciplines, working closely with a partner or an associate. We encourage trainees to contribute from an early stage. As a patent trainee you will be involved in drafting and prosecuting UK and European patent applications, opposition and opinion work. Trade mark trainees will be involved in all aspects of UK, EUTM, and international applications, oppositions and searches.

    Candidates at Cleveland Scott York

    An excellent academic record, including a good honours degree in science or engineering is a prerequisite for patent attorneys. We are looking for team players with a flexible, proactive and confident approach. Excellent written and verbal communications skills are essential, as are high levels of accuracy and an eye for detail. We expect to recruit one or two new patent trainees every year; we tend to select trainee trade mark attorneys from amongst our law graduate paralegals, but may use IP Careers to advertise.
