What we look for in new recruits

We are interested in intelligent, ambitious and enthusiastic people who want to work with some of New Zealand's largest and most innovative companies.
An interest in further training in the patent profession is essential.

In the patent profession you need to be able to quickly assimilate information about leading edge scientific or engineering technology. 

An understanding of marketing principles and an ability to think laterally will give you a head start in our trade mark teams.

If this sounds like you, we want to hear from you.
