Job description

Sacco Mann are thrilled to be partnering again with our long-standing industry client who are recruiting an In-House Patent Attorney to join their North West outfit.

The Role

You will join the existing team of in-house Patent Attorneys stepping into a varied role from day 1. As an in-house Patent Attorney you will offer commercial and strategic IP protection to the business. You will be responsible for invention harvesting and capture, working closely with Research & Development groups and other Legal professionals across the company. You will manage the busy portfolio, handle FTO matters, file, prosecute and oppose patents liaising with external counsel on a regular basis.

What's in it for you?

• Competitive salary package based on experience (we cannot disclose this figure online but are happy to discuss further with you on a call) and a healthy bonus scheme regularly paying out as a percentage
• Innovative and interesting work guaranteeing no two days to be the same
• Clear cut progression and opportunity to learn and develop working alongside a friendly and motivational team of impressive Attorneys
• Hybrid working (50% on site)

About you

The ideal candidate will be a recently European qualified and/or dual qualified Patent Attorney based within a commutable distance to Liverpool, ideally with hands-on experience working in-house.

This is not a fully remote role and so you must be able to work on site in Liverpool 50% of your time.

Patent Attorneys with a background in Electronics are of particular interest; however, there is genuine flexibility on technical background for the right candidate, so those with Chemistry, Engineering and/or Life Sciences backgrounds seeking a move in-house - please do apply.

You will be comfortable using your initiative whilst also being a strong team player. You will work closely with a Senior Attorney and the wider IP group based in alternative offices, so having strong communication skills, both written and verbally, is a must! This is a busy role with a high level of work, which is often needed to be completed within tight timescales. Those who enjoy working in a fast-paced, commercial environment with good time management skills - we want to hear from you!
