We are looking for knowledge-hungry personalities to join our Trademarks & Designs Division and help examine more than 30,000 Swiss and international trademarks each year.

Discover a role with varied aspects that will allow you to research, discuss, argue, make decisions and develop yourself. In your work, you will contribute to the strict adherence to processing deadlines and customer satisfaction. Incidentally, you will acquire a wealth of diverse knowledge that will surely make you shine at your next pub quiz.
