Katcall: Openings for GuestKats and InternKats!

Are you passionate about IP? We have exciting news for you!

The IPKat is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) for GuestKat posts and looking for IP enthusiasts to fill InternKat positions.

GuestKat and InternKat positions will last six months and there are no geographical restrictions on either role. Please bear in mind that you need to have your employer’s permission to be part of the IPKat team.

GuestKat

Typically, GuestKats are in an advanced stage of their career. They contribute to keeping the blog fresh by providing unique perspectives on cutting-edge topics in their field of expertise.

We are looking for those interested in blogging with strong IP expertise and good writing skills.

GuestKats will work with a member of the permanent IPKat team and they are expected to contribute approximately four posts per month.

Being a GuestKat provides an exceptional opportunity to bring your posts to a large audience around the world, as well as further developing your IP network.

The EIO requires providing CV details, motivation, and a writing sample. Apply here.

A list of previous GuestKats can be reviewed here.

InternKats

Typically, InternKats are graduate students, trainees, recently qualified people or IP enthusiasts in career transitions.

InternKats are responsible for round-up posts (example), Never Too Late posts (example), Around the IP blogs posts (example), updating the events calendar (here), and reporting monthly reports regarding statistics and analytics of the IPKat blog. In addition, InternKats are invited to write independent posts once a month.

We are looking for two keen IP enthusiasts to fill InternKat positions. They will receive mentoring and guidance from a member of the permanent IPKat team. They will also receive training for the tasks that the role involves. Previous applicants are encouraged to apply.

Applications should contain CV details, motivation, and a writing sample. Apply here.

The deadline for applying to GuestKat and InternKat positions is Friday, 14 December 2018 (midnight, GMT). The successful candidates will start on 1 January 2019.

  1. It would be good to have patent attorney bloggers in the IPKAT. It has become very academic over the last year or two.

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.
