Trainee Patent Engineers/Attorneys (340482)

Job Summary:


Many more patent attorneys are needed in the world to keep up to speed with the rapid development and growth of Information and Telecommunication technology (ICT). Internet-of-things, 5G, cloud computing and AI are quickly changing our society.
Ericsson now takes the initiative to start a trainee program for patent attorneys. The candidates are ideally new M.Sc. or Ph.D. graduates or young graduate professionals within any of the ICT-technologies.
 
We promise to prepare motivated trainees for the European Patent Attorney examination and the practical skills to become a world-class patent attorney at the forefront of Hi-Tech. This involves training in law (no prior legal knowledge required), technology and secondment in a patent law firm/patent office. You will be at the forefront of technological development and become an expert in helping inventors protect their technological ideas and get a fair return on invested R&D. Once you are a full-fledged patent attorney, you will have the skill to help inventors extract patentable ideas and you will be a master in evaluating inventions, drafting and prosecuting patent applications before patent offices, and dealing with commercialization of IPR.


Ericsson is a truly international ICT company with a very successful IPR&Licensing organization. We are thus able to provide unique insights into the profession; which insights cannot be found anywhere else.


Candidates are expected to:
exhibit a very curious attitude towards innovation in general,
fluent in English in both speech and writing,
be a team-player who develops by both taking and giving feedback, and
have an eye for details.



The trainee positions are in Kista, Stockholm. 
Desired starting date: 1 June - 1 September 2020


The selection and interview process are ongoing, so send your application in English as soon a possible.
