CIPA student conference 2024

Written by trainees for trainees.
On 18th April 2024 CIPA (the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys) hosted its annual Student Conference at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Birmingham. The event (aimed at trainee patent attorneys in the early stages of their career) involves a series of talks and is renowned for giving trainees across the UK the opportunity to connect and network with one another. The patent profession in the UK is fairly small, so there is a good chance the trainees at the student conference will continue to interact with each other throughout their careers.
