NEWS FROM THE PATENT OFFICE

Two items of interest from the Patent Office:

* One for all you job-hunting scientists out there – the Patent Office is looking for 6 new examiners for its 2005 intake. Those with electrical engineering, electronics, computer technology and telecommunications backgrounds are particularly welcome but biotechnologists are out of luck. One of the requirements of the job is to be flexible – the IPKat’s mind boggles…

* The Patent Office is conducting a review of its London operations. The current set-up was put into place before the internet was a part of everyday life and during a temporary boom in demand for court facilities and hearing rooms. However, the Office has provided reassurance that it intends to have a continued London presence. Comments and views are welcome addressed to London.review@patent.gov.uk. The IPKat says “Get writing”.

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
