Internships at the European Patent Office (EPO)

Every year, the European Patent Office (EPO) offers a limited number of three to six-month internships to engineering and science students who hold the minimum requirement of a technical bachelor's (or equivalent level) degree. The internship will take place in Munich, The Hague or Berlin and will start on 17 June 2013.
This is a unique opportunity to discover one of the world's leading patent offices and to work in a truly international environment. Interns work side by side with examiners who tutor them throughout the internship. They carry out complex re-classification work on patent applications and receive training relating to patents and other areas of IP, and various aspects of an examiner's work.
Technical fields:
  • mechanical engineering
  • chemistry
  • electronics
  • electricity
  • physics
  • computers
Deadline: 03/03/2013
