At P&G, Intellectual Property is so
important, it commands its own division.
The foundation of our overall business strategy
is superior technology, so protecting our
internal investment in intellectual property
is critical. Without this, we simply can’t
succeed. That’s why P&G attorneys
are part of project teams from start to
finish.
You’ll receive immediate responsibility.
We give our lawyers exposure to our company’s
important projects and issues. By design,
this is accomplished in a variety of business
and legal settings to provide a broad understanding
of P&G’s operations.
We take a “learn by doing”
approach to training. We also provide a
core training program in patent and trademark
law. Additionally, you will be provided
coaching/mentoring from experienced colleagues
when needed.
No One Has to Wait for an Exciting Challenge
at P&G
Unlike many other legal environments, P&G’s
Intellectual Property Division gives new
lawyers immediate access to resolving clients’
day-to-day questions and problems.
Soon after joining our staff, you would
have the opportunity to handle the full
range of real world intellectual property
legal issues. In no time you would be hearing
client concerns first hand, probing for
legally relevant facts, formulating legal
advice and taking specific action when it
is required.
All of our Intellectual Property attorneys
have excellent law school records from a
cross-section of leading law schools from
across the country. For those attorneys
who work in the area of patent preparation
and prosecution, it is required that our
attorneys have a technical undergraduate
background (i.e. science and engineering),
in order to practice patent law. In addition,
our patent attorneys are required to take
and pass the Ohio and U.S. Patent Registration
exams within the first year of employment.
We place special emphasis on written and
oral communication skills. We also look
for well-rounded men and women with an abundance
of qualities such as leadership, vision
and energy.
Summer
Program
We are very proud of our summer program.
Our interns are assigned both a supervisor
and mentor to help them on-board quickly
and have an opportunity to see corporate
life and quickly gain hands-on experience.
Each intern is given a variety of assignments
to allow them the opportunity to understand
the scope of the work we do. |
