Full Job Description

About Cameron IP

Cameron IP is a progressive firm of Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys serving a global client base, particularly in the UK and USA. Our team works across a variety of office and home locations (including Glasgow, London, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Staffordshire), and we have an emphasis on flexible working, to benefit our staff and clients.

We are one of the few IP Firms to hold the ISO 9001 accreditation for quality management, meaning that we focus continually on Firm development and improvement, and that this is structured into our processes.

Our ethos is centered on building the trust of our people, our clients and our partners. To do this, we follow five guiding principles that help us to be ethical, high-performing and a pleasure to work with. These are: integrity, excellence, flexibility, efficiency and responsiveness.

Our firm has a particular focus on the “IP for better” principle, meaning that we aim to use our knowledge, actions and connections in the IP area to bring benefit to society as a whole and the environment.
