At Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions, Patents and other technology-related Intellectual Property (IP) rights are vital and high-priority elements of our business operations. With increased activity due to mergers and acquisitions and our own product and technology development, we foresee a raising demand for effective IP management. To meet this and future IP demands as a result of our investments in research and development, we’re now looking for a Patent Administrator to join our Patents team.

Shortly about us

Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions is a business area within the Sandvik Group and a global leading supplier of equipment and tools, parts, service and technical solutions for the mining and construction industries. Sandvik holds a world leading position in the manufacturing industry, and innovation, exceptional collaboration, diversity and inclusion, and sustainability is in our DNA. Becoming part of our world means many exciting encounters characterized by brilliant minds, a truly global network and creative environments, but most of all, you’ll get great opportunities for developing your own path.

About your job

In this position, you work in a diverse and global team with patent managers, attorneys, engineers and other administrators, gaining insights into all aspects of the global IP administrative work. You ensure that administrative services within the field are provided in an accurate and timely manner, in accordance with business needs. You handle administration correspondence and documentation within Sandvik patent organization, towards R&D, other units in our organization, as well as externally towards patent agents and patent authorities in different countries. You also work with in-house patenting operations in Europe, USA, China and India.

The job includes a broad range of paralegal and patent administration related tasks where you identify, handle and resolve various formality issues and matters, as well as other IP and legal related matters that may need attention. The tasks of your job are present throughout the whole patenting process, from invention disclosures, patent applications and granted patents world-wide. The role is focused on EP Administration work and hence requires strong knowledge and experience of working with EP filings and prosecution. You work independently and in collaboration with other patent professionals in our organization, as well as with external partners.

Your responsibilities include ensuring that each step in the patent process is registered and maintained in IP databases – reviewing, monitoring and attending deadlines on IP dockets, and maintaining high availability and accuracy of patent portfolio data. You act as the intermediary between external law firms and in-house patent attorneys and engineers, file patent applications and responses at patent offices and manage formal documents. You actively suggest and implement new or improved ways of working for the team.

The location for this position is Sandviken or Malmö, Sweden, or Pune, India.

About you

We are looking for someone with a genuine interest in accuracy and attention to details combined with paralegal or equivalent experience from IP or law. You have a strong understanding of patent administration and a background from working in an IP law firm, corporate IP department or national patent authority. Experience from filing and prosecution, communication, and payments in regard of EPO, WIPO, and other IP authorities, as well as skills in Office 365 applications and communication tools is needed. It’s important that you’re skilled and experienced in independently handling EP administration work, specifically EP filing and prosecution. We see it as a plus if your knowledge is backed by an education within IP paralegal space, or a degree in Law. We operate in an international environment which calls for excellent communication skills in English.

Your personality in combination with your experience is important for this job. You are an independent doer with a meticulous mind who takes initiatives. Being a true team player, you easily collaborate and build strong relationships – always offer a helping hand when needed, with the aim to help the team reach our goals and deliver high quality!
