Patent Consultant - Hightech & Engineering, Aarhus, Denmark

HØIBERG is one of Europe's leading and most respected patent law firms. We are the preferred partners of a wide range of world-class hightech, biotech/medtech and foodtech startups and R&D intense companies and universities world-wide.

We are now recruiting talented and ambitious patent attorney trainees equipped with a good sense for business and commercialization of R&D to our office in Aarhus.

Being a patent attorney requires a high intellectual capacity and excellent analytical skills. You have a university degree within mechanical, civil or electrical engineering or you may be a physicist or computer scientist. We appreciate minds equipped with a curiosity for science and technology even outside your core area of expertise. A PhD degree and/or industrial experience is a merit.

Typical duties as a patent consultant include drafting and prosecution of patent applications, analysis of patentability, assessment of infringement and validity of patents, strategic IP counselling as well as assistance with licensing agreements, IP due diligence, litigation, etc.

You are a skilled communicator and aim to provide excellent and accurate service to your clients. You speak and write English fluently. Proficiency in Danish is highly valued. You master the spectra from detail to the big picture. Protecting and enforcing intellectual property rights can be a lengthy process that requires both quick action and great patience. We expect you to be ready to defend our clients' rights with the same passion as if it was your own.

In the absence of prior experience with patents, you will be offered a comprehensive training program during the initial 3-5 years leading up to a European Patent Attorney (EPA) degree. Part of the training is conducted within the framework of your daily work by experienced colleagues in Aarhus and Copenhagen, but you will also need to allocate a part of your private time to patent training during the coming years.

We offer an international and flexible workplace with an informal tone, attractive employment conditions and a salary corresponding to your qualifications. We are looking to fill this role in March-April 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter.

Applications should be sent by e-mail to job@hoiberg.com marked "Hightech Patent Consultant (Aarhus)" in the subject field as soon as possible and no later than 29 February 2024. Candidates may be invited for an interview on an ongoing basis. Please note that the application must be in English and should preferably be forwarded with copies of your university transcripts.

If you want to know more, you are welcome to contact Peter Borg Gaarde or Mads Wittrup Lindeloff via telephone (+45) 3332 0337.
