June 2008
We are very pleased to announce that Kerry Berns, a senior records administrator based in our Birmingham office, has been successful in her recent IPAG examinations.
IPAG - the Intellectual Property Administrators' Group - is an organisation supported by the British Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys, and is designed to improve records administrators' knowledge of IP laws and procedures, with a view to assisting them with their day-to-day work, in the IP profession.
The IPAG course, which when completed results in a recognised and well-respected certificate, took seven months to conclude, and involved regular attendance at seminars, lectures and meetings, relating to UK, European and PCT patent procedures, and several other aspects of IP.
We are delighted that Kerry passed the final examination, at her first attempt : congratulations, from all the partners and staff.
