Job Description

Job Description:

Handle end-to-end trade mark prosecution across multiple jurisdictions, driving applications from filing through to registration.
Run bulk and rolling filing programmes: scoping class and jurisdiction coverage with business teams and managing national and Madrid Protocol routes.
Manage the response workflow for office actions and refusals. Prepare first-cut analyses, work with external counsel to draft responses, assemble evidence, propose specification amendments, and manage deadlines.
Handle contentious matters end-to-end - trade mark watch review, oppositions, invalidations, cancellations and appeals - including evidence collation, preparing/reviewing drafts and supervising external counsels through to decision.
Support enforcement and brand protection: infringement and passing off complaints, cease-and-desist correspondence, takedowns, and coordination with business teams.
End-to-end docketing: procedural deadlines, renewals, recordals (assignments, name and address changes), portfolio records, trackers, filing and status reporting.
Manage external counsel commercially - scope instructions tightly, obtain and compare fee quotes, monitor spend against budget, and review invoices.
Potentially support patent filings and prosecution as the portfolio develops.
Prepare clear, decision-ready summaries and recommendations for internal stakeholders, and escalate risk issues promptly.
Other related tasks assigned from time to time.

Requirements:

At least 6 years of hands-on trade mark prosecution experience, gained at a law firm, or IP agency.
Demonstrated experience managing multi-jurisdiction portfolios and instructing foreign associates, including Madrid Protocol practice.
Practical experience with contentious matters (oppositions, cancellations, invalidations).
Strong docketing discipline. Meticulous, organised and committed to delivering high-quality work.
Proactive, able to work with autonomy, with sound judgement on when to escalate.
Patent prosecution experience is an advantage but not essential.
Able to multitask and deliver at pace in a dynamic, fast-growing environment.
Highly ethical, discreet and able to maintain confidentiality.
