Patent consultant within Hightech – Trainee program at HØIBERG
Do you want to help shape the future of technological innovations? At HØIBERG, you’ll have a unique opportunity to combine your technical expertise in hightech with business development and intellectual property law. Are you a curious problem-solver with a passion for technology and eager to work in a dynamic and innovative environment? Are you ready for a long-term career where every day presents new intellectual challenges? Then the role of Patent Consultant is perfect for you!
OM TJÄNSTEN
HØIBERG is continuing its expansion in Stockholm and is now looking for two new patent consultants to join its teams at the offices located at Karolinska Institutet and KTH. We are hiring one consultant with a focus on hightech and another with a focus on medical technology.
As part of our team, you will work with a wide range of clients, from research-driven startups to global companies, helping them develop strategies to protect their intellectual property. As a patent consultant, you will be responsible for providing business-oriented and strategic guidance throughout the entire patent process – from the initial innovation to a granted patent. No prior experience or knowledge of patent law is required, as we provide comprehensive on-site training. We are looking for individuals with strong technical backgrounds who are eager to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world business scenarios.
During your first 3–5 years, you will undergo a comprehensive training program that will prepare you to qualify as a European Patent Attorney. Part of this training will be integrated into your daily work alongside experienced colleagues in Stockholm and Copenhagen. However, you will also need to dedicate some of your own time to patent education during this period.
At HØIBERG, we foster a culture of curiosity and collaboration without hierarchy. We place great value on close cooperation between all our Nordic offices, leveraging each other's expertise to deliver the best possible results for our clients.
You are offered:
- An industry-leading and comprehensive training program in patents, with the opportunity for personalized guidance and mentorship from some of the top patent experts in both Stockholm and Copenhagen
- Excellent opportunities for becoming a European Patent Attorney, with a clear career path and support throughout the process
- The chance to work closely with innovative companies and have a direct impact on their future success by safeguarding their intellectual property
- Generous employment benefits, including wellness allowances, occupational pensions, the possibility of hybrid work, and a performance-based bonus system that rewards your dedication
