Patent Attorney (Europe, Remote)Location/s:
Slough ENG GBR - 270 Bath RdStanley Black & Decker is a world-leading provider of tools, gardening, storage, and engineered fastening systems, with unique growth platforms and a track record of sustained profitable growth in more than 100 countries.

European Patent Attorney (EU, Remote)
Location: Remote/Virtual. Role is 100% virtual/remote, you will have the option to use our UK, Slough office if required. This role is also open for other qualified candidates from Europe.
Purpose
We have an opportunity for a European Patent Attorney to join our IP team as there is a vast array of IP matters to be managed. Our IP team needs to be able to service our diverse and commercially demanding clients based across Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa.
The Job (responsibilities):
Our legal work covers the full breadth of IP matters from the conventional drafting and prosecution of patent, design and trademark cases; through to the more commercial oppositions, licensing, litigation, clearance opinions, revocation actions, domain name disputes, agreements, mergers/acquisitions and more.
We believe it is hard to find a more business-focused IP team. All our attorneys are integral members of the businesses they support. These businesses value the IP advice and guidance they receive and are in contact with their attorneys every day. This is not a role where you will receive remote filing instructions, but then take no part in product development – you will help design the products we make and sell.
The technologies we work with are just as diverse. Amongst the businesses within the group are: gardening tools, asset tracking, storage, tagging, automotive and industrial fastening, hydraulic machinery, hand and power tools - they all need IP support.
The Person (requirements):
We are looking for a qualified, or near-qualified attorney, who is seeking a demanding, highly commercial role with real opportunity to progress within a global organization. You will be comfortable handling electronic/mechanical matters and have had exposure to, or be willing to learn quickly about, infringement clearance and opinion work as well as contentious matters. Together with your professional experience you should be able to demonstrate solid business acumen, excellent oral and written communication skills, self-confidence and be proactive in your approach. Notice we use the term IP, not just patents. This is because we provide business-oriented guidance across all IP matters and this is why we are so valuable to the company.
We offer:
We can offer you real career development and an opportunity to work globally and we will reward you with a competitive remuneration and benefits package.
The European IP team all work flexibly from home with office access in the UK (Slough), Germany (Linden) and UAE (Dubai). However, location is not a constraining factor, with our flexible approach to work. Travel is an element of the job, but at a manageable level.
