My academic background is in history, but my interest in trade marks was sparked by my first role working as an IP in-house Paralegal with a designer perfume brand.
Day-to-day in my role at Boult, I support the drafting of trade mark protection for retail clients and major international brands, as well as drafting responses to clients. The evidence-gathering aspect of the role really appeals to me, and I look forward to expanding into filing of applications and oppositions as my career with Boult develops.
Having begun my career in an in-house capacity, I have a real appreciation for a client’s needs, and how best to pursue protection for their brands, particularly in the consumer goods and retail space.
