IP Futures – Pub Quiz

Lindsay Pike Cambridge Regional Sec Hi all! I’m Lindsay and I’m the new regional secretary for Cambridge. I started training as a patent attorney in January (2020) with D Young & Co in London but I live in Cambridge – yes this means a long commute! During my PhD I was a social secretary for graduate students and after a few months at DYC realised I was missing this element from my life – as luck would have it, the Informals Committee had a vacancy for a Cambridge rep.

I’m really looking forward to meeting other trainees in Cambridge – I’ve been sent an old mailing list from last year that I will soon send a message to, but if you don’t think you’ll be on it or you want to get in touch with me before then please email me – my email address is in the Informals contact list below.

At the moment it will be difficult to host any face-to-face events but I’m hoping to organise a virtual coffee morning or after-work meeting, so hopefully speak to some of you soon!

The Informals Committee for 2019–2020. If you have any questions and would like to get in contact with your local Informals secretary, then all the contact details are below:
