HI I'M OZGUR
Hello everyone. I’m Ozgur, a Trainee Patent Attorney and Mechanical/Electrical Engineer. After working in the technical field for several years, I realised there is much more I could do with my knowledge and experience. That path, finally, led me to Wynne-Jones and the Intellectual Property world. I will be sharing my experience as an engineer becoming a patent attorney from the very first steps. I have never thought of IP or Law as a career option purely because I didn’t have any exposure to it at any part of my studies or work experience directly.
However, once I stepped into it, I realised that it has always been a big and influential part of my career from the devices I have worked on (patents, design rights) to the material I have read or created (trade marks, copyright).n The best part of this profession, as far as I have experienced so far, is the variety of ideas and vastness of perspectives one can encounter. For me that is the biggest motivation: curiosity.
HI I'M JAE
I Joined Wynne-Jones’ Mechanical Engineering team in September 2017 as a Trainee Patent Attorney under Danny Butler. I'm Spanish-Korean born and raised in Gran Canaria where I attended an international British school from kindergarten to Year 13. My hobbies include travelling and surfing. I hope to give you an insight into the profession and what it’s like to be a trainee hereatWynne-Jones
Here I am:

HI I'M PIOTR
Hi, I’m Piotr and my journey with IP started in Poland, from where I moved to become a “game keeping” patent examiner at the UKIPO, who then turned to “poaching” again now with WJ ☺ In my blog posts, I’ll try to put on these international, examiner and attorney hats which will hopefully help me prepare interesting reads!”
