aera has developed a structured graduate programme where graduates learn the patent consulting business through a combination of internal training, real casework, and external courses during the first 3-4 years.

This is a focused programme for passing the European Qualification Examination (EQE) that gives the title of European Patent Attorney (EPA). EPA is the gold standard for patent consulting.

Graduates will, during the first 4-5 months, receive a detailed introduction to innovation harvesting and patent processes.

All internal training sessions in the first five months will occur in Copenhagen. Candidates should be able to work in Copenhagen, Aarhus, or Stockholm for the programme’s first two years.

We expect a great deal from our graduates, but we also offer something unique: the chance to become an expert in the legal processes behind innovation, where graduates learn from the best in the field.

A Master of Science or equivalent is a minimum requirement, and a Ph.D. is a bonus.

Send us your CV with a cover letter explaining why you want to become a patent consultant.
Please don’t wait until the deadline; we are screening all applications as we receive them.

Application deadline: 23 June 2025
Expected starting day: 1 September 2025
