I joined Boult as a Patent Trainee after completing an integrated MEng degree in Computer Science/Software Engineering at the University of Birmingham.
My studies encompassed a wide variety of disciplines, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, software applications, and data security and cryptography. During my studies, I undertook student teaching placements, which helped me keep exploring and learning about the field of software and sharing that with people.
I decided, however, that I wanted to use my specific knowledge for a wider benefit. I was interested in a role where I’d be continually learning new things and pushing my knowledge and technical understanding. Once I found out about the potential of a career in patents, it felt like an ideal fit.
I’m excited by the variety of work in the role. The opportunity to work with a wide range of innovative technology, learning new skills and working closely with clients and inventors greatly appealed to me.
Thus far, my work has included reporting to clients on communications from intellectual property offices, filing initial applications and reviewing and preparing responses to examiner objections. I am looking forward to expanding my responsibilities as my role develops.
