1. Name: Isabel Schnabel
2. Position at GSKH: IP Paralegal Munich Office
3. When and how did I come up with the idea of becoming an IP Paralegal?
It was a fortunate coincidence. I was jobbing only for a few weeks at an IP Office to earn enough money to make a journey. Then I became a good offer, so here I am. This story is 20 years old.
4. What was the most catching moment/adventure/happening, … in your career so far?
Once we had big construction works in our office. There was so much noise and dust in the air nearby our main printer. I talked to my colleagues, and we decided I should talk to Mr. von Hirschhausen. I spoke to him, and immediately thereafter he contacted the construction workers. Consequently, they had to install a plastic wall around the main printer. I felt happy that our dynamic team work was able to save our main printer – which is a quite expensive and precious technical facility in our office.
5. What does GSKH represent for you?
Respectfully working with excellent IP Professionals as a winning team; a good work-life-balance concept; funny excursions.
