CIPIL is pleased to congratulate Chrysi Raftogianni (LLM, Clare Hall) and Dimitra Louzidi (LLM, Wolfson College) on their successful applications submitted through the Pan-European Seal Programme. The Pan-European Seal Professional Traineeship Programme gives high-achieving young university graduates the opportunity to gain over one year paid internship, valuable on-the-job professional work experience in the multicultural environments of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and the European Patent Office (EPO). It is an opportunity to put into practice the knowledge acquired during their studies. The programme aims to help trainees understand the objectives and procedures relating to the EU trade mark and Community design system, as well as to IP infringement and enforcement matters.
Chrysi has been offered a traineeship in the BoAs ("Coherence and Consistency Assurance Team") at the EUIPO. Dimitra’s traineeship will be in the International Relations and Legal Affairs Department of the EUIPO in international cooperation.
