If you get excited by creativity, innovation and breakthrough technologies, you should consider applying for a job with us.

Patent and Trade Mark Examiners are among the first people to see new developments in science, technology and marketing. Patent Examiners assess detailed written descriptions of inventions and associated claims to determine whether the application meets the legislative requirements of the Patents Act 1990. Trade Mark Examiners review trade mark applications to make sure they meet the requirements for registration under the Trade Marks Act 1995.

As you progress through the program, your salary increases too. Upon finishing the program, you will have secure ongoing employment.

We look for people with the following qualities and skills:

  • highly developed research, analytical and conceptual thinking
  • ability to understand and articulate complex ideas
  • sound decision making
  • ability to apply legal concepts
  • desire for continued learning 
  • ability to work both independently and as part of a team
  • Patent Examiners will require a degree in a relevant area of science and technology; or a diploma together with appropriate industry experience.
