Public sector IP careers

A free Summer of IP  webinar
with the UK Intellectual Property Office

Thursday 10 August 2023
1 – 2 pm

There is IP in virtually every sector. You can become an IP professional in private practice, in industry, in academia, in publishing, in a charity or in the public sector.

This webinar introduced the IP-related careers available in the civil service, including examiner, attorney, IT and communications. Panellists with a range of roles in both the UK’s Intellectual Property Office and government science and engineering teams explained about what they do and why they enjoy it. They also discussed the different routes into these rewarding public sector careers. There were plenty of opportunities for the audience to feed their own questions into the discussion.

This was a joint Careers in Ideas and Intellectual Property Office webinar, created for our 2023 Summer of IP programme. It was suitable for school and university students from all backgrounds who are interested in working with IP, as well as career changers considering a move into the public sector.
