Intellectual property expert Albright IP is celebrating this week after three of its employees chalked up big successes in their exams.
Both Lauren Fisher and Zainab Rhyman, who are on the pathway towards qualifying as Trade Mark attorneys, scored highly in the 2022 CITMA Paralegal exams, with Lauren attaining the highest mark of the cohort, with an impressive 98/100!
The Institute-led CITMA Paralegal course provides extensive grounding in a variety of topics, including the technical skills associated with the management of Trade Mark registrations, searches, renewals and maintenance, changes of ownership, oppositions, and cancellations.
It also touches on registered designs and domain names, ensuring that candidates complete the course with a full understanding of professional practice.
At the same time, Joel Weston has passed his final CITMA exams with a Distinction, and is now a fully qualified Trade Mark Attorney, soon to be Chartered.
“It’s really important to us to support our people in their career development and provide an environment in which they can thrive and grow,” said Albright IP Managing Director Robert Games.
“We’re very proud of Lauren, Zainab and Joel – they’ve worked so hard for their achievements and it’s great to see their dedication rewarded.”
Top-score Lauren graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2021 with a First-Class honours degree in Law (LLB), before joining Albright IP as a Trade Mark Paralegal in July 2021. Starting her career with Albright IP at a similar time, Zainab also holds a First-Class honours degree in Law (LLB), graduating from the University of Bristol in 2021.
They will both be enrolling on to the first part of their professional training towards becoming Trade Mark Attorneys in the Autumn of 2022.
Joel Weston graduated from the University of Wolverhampton in 2015 with a First-Class Law degree (LLB), and went on to obtain a Commercial Law Master’s degree (LLM) at the University of Bristol in 2016.
He joined Albright IP in March 2019 as a Trade Mark Attorney trainee, and since then, has become a highly regarded member of the team, involved in all aspects of Trade Mark prosecution and enforcement. His qualification as a Trade Mark Attorney, includes a Litigators Certificate.
