With a background in Biomedical sciences (neurobiology) and art history, it took a while until I decided to start working at a patent office.
Still, the position of formalities officer is perfect for me. I have a curious nature and I like detailed work, so I enjoy those ‘slightly different cases’ that arise due to all the exceptions to the rules in patent law.
But what I like most is the social interaction with my colleagues, and the customer contact in the different corners of the world that I expect to develop along the way!
