Save our Cat!

All good Kats like a change
of place from time to time ...

Attention all IP enthusiasts: here’s a cat in need of a good home. Catherine Lee (alias Cat the Kat) is an esteemed member of the IPKat weblog team. She is highly educated (she has a doctorate in copyright law from Oxford and the University Medal for her Undergraduate LLB studies), super-qualified (solicitor and barrister, England and Wales; solicitor and trade mark attorney, Australia), house-trained by the IP/IT Team at Clayton Utz in Sydney and has spent several years in practice doing both contentious and non-contentious work.

 At the moment Cat is doing media work for a national newspaper (enough said!) and commercial IP/IT work for an international work for an international business consultancy and would very much appreciate a change of professional scenery. If you have an interesting and exciting IP and/or IT role in London or the Thames Valley that needs brains, application, enthusiasm and measured judgment, email the IPKat here with the subject line "CatPost" and he’ll pass your expression of interest on to her. Merpel adds, Cat is very sweet for a biological Australian, and doesn’t take up much room in the office …

More talent on offer!

Another individual bubbling with talent and enthusiasm has invoked his friendship with the IPKat in order to cadge a handy plug with a view to a bit of career development. He writes:

"I have a comprehensive understanding of English law and legal procedure together with all aspects of intellectual property law; following my (English) law degree, I was awarded an LLM with Distinction from the University of Edinburgh in IP and IT law, and was graded Outstanding on the Bar Vocational Course at BPP Law School. Before qualifying in law, I worked as an electronics and communications engineer (a field in which I have undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications), a project manager and an in-house technical consultant. My written and verbal communications skills are excellent, and I am an enthusiastic self-starter with a demonstrated record of meeting or exceeding all the goals set of me.

Having recently been called to the Bar, I am keen to gain further experience in IP and related areas. I live in London and am looking for work there or within reasonably commuting distance; I am willing to be extremely flexible as regards working patterns and remuneration".
