Ip Junior Lawyer/trademark Agent Trainee

3 weeks ago

Ottawa, Canada OLLIP P.C. Full time

**About the Firm**:
OLLIP P.C. is a boutique law firm specializing in intellectual property and technology law, located in Ottawa. We protect IP assets for clients of all sizes (whether they be small, trendy local businesses or large multi-national corporations) across the province, country, and the globe.

By offering a broad range of IP experience—brand protection, litigation and appeals, copyrights, domain names, trademarks, industrial designs and mobile and e-commerce products—we have become a leading Canadian IP agency, helping to prepare, file, prosecute, protect and renew IP rights.

**Perks About Working with a Small, Boutique Firm**:
Unlike at larger, full-service firms - where professionals and staff can be hampered by a multitude of procedures and layers of administration - we take a more informal approach to structure. So, you have more independence and your input has an immediate impact. We also do not have billable hour targets. Rather, our focus is client-centric - producing quality work. We provide big firm expertise (with a similar client portfolio range) and a wide breadth of file experience in a smaller and collegial environment.

**The Opportunity**:

- We are seeking a motivated and organized Trademark Agent Trainee/Junior Lawyer (new calls welcome) with intentions to pursue the Trademark Agent designation within the next three (3) years to join the Firm’s Trademark Prosecution & Industrial Design Group. The position is located in Ottawa. Responsibilities include:

- Managing and responding to trademark/industrial design office actions;
- Managing domestic and foreign trademark/industrial design portfolios, analyzing trademark searches and drafting trademark registrability opinions;
- Advising clients on trademark/industrial design matters, including registrability, licensing, and transfers;
- Researching and drafting affidavits, statements of opposition, written representations, and other filings with CIPO in section 45 cancellation and opposition proceedings;
- Providing trademark/industrial design litigation support;
- Assisting in updating the Firm’s Thomson Reuters loose-leaf publication, _Odutola on Canadian Trademark Practice_;
- Keeping apprised of developments in trademark/industrial design law, CIPO processes and procedures, and other relevant topics;
- Managing docket systems and maintaining/updating precedents;
- Supervising the work product of a team of law clerks who support the practice;
- Assist in training/mentorship of colleagues and law clerks in the practice group; and
- Other relevant duties as assigned.

***

**Requisite Qualifications**:

- Juris Doctor (J.D.) from a Canadian law school, or equivalent;
- In good standing with the Law Society of Ontario (new calls welcome);

**Other Skills**:

- Outstanding persuasive drafting skills
- Prosecution practice management experience is preferred, but not required
- Excellent computer software skills, including Microsoft Office, as well as prior experience with legal software (e.g., docketing, document management, and precedent management programs)
- High technological aptitude considered an asset (including review of automated software results, search engine optimization, and other software-driven / computer-automated processes)
- Experience in business development is an asset
- Bilingualism is an asset

**Remuneration**:
Salary commensurate with other small IP boutique firms in Ottawa, ON, as well as the experience of the applicant. Negotiable.

**Benefits**:

- No billable hour requirement
- Work-Life Balance
- Relaxed dress code
- Coverage of professional and insurance fees
- Health & Dental Benefits
- Life & Disability Benefits
- 3 weeks’ vacation

**How to Apply**:
**_single_**
**PDF document**:

- Cover letter (addressed to Bayo Odutola, Managing Principal of Ollip P.C.);
- Curriculum Vitae; and
- Post-secondary transcript (law school/J.D. Program only, or other transcript reflecting highest educational level attained).

**OLLIP P.C.’s Response to COVID-19**

Effective June 26, 2023, OLLIP P.C. has suspended its current vaccine policy mandate. As the pandemic is not over, the safety of Firm members remains OLLIP P.C.’s top priority. Given the ever-evolving nature of the situation, OLLIP P.C. will continue to closely monitor health conditions, and if necessary, implement new measures to protect Firm members. While it is not a condition of employment, we would appreciate reviewing your most recent proof of vaccination.
