I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at EIP (London, England) in Apr 2024
Interview
The initial call for this internship involved a 20 minute research exercise, and then a 40 minute general discussion about patent law and my motivation to pursue a career in patent law.
Overall, great experience. Interviewer is very nice and the questions have some level of difficulty but as long as you show your thought process, they are OK. HR interview was also OK.
Screening call and test. Friendly interviewer with tests on spelling and grammar and questions to see if I was a good fit for the role and firm. Lasted 90 minutes. This would be followed by an interview with partners.
