Overview
As an Intellectual Property Intern, you will have the opportunity to work closely with our team of IP attorneys and professionals. This internship program is designed to provide you with hands‑on experience and exposure to various aspects of IP Law through classroom‑based learning, similar to the training provided to our trainee attorneys when enrolled at our HLK Academy.
We secure intellectual property rights for prominent companies as well as highly creative start‑up businesses. The core of the job is the preparation of patent applications on behalf of clients, which involves understanding an invention, distilling its key features, and writing a clear and broad description so that a Patent Examiner will be persuaded to grant a patent.
A Patent Attorney will also advise clients on all aspects of patent procedures, on international patent protection and on effective patent strategies.
