  • Strong experience using patent and scientific search tools/databases
  • Ability to connect detailed scientific research with patentability and claim strategy
  • Excellent organizational skills and deadline management
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Experience with mechanical or electrical patent prosecution is a plus
Compensation

Base salary range: $130,000 – $170,000

Compensation will vary based on office location, experience, scientific background, and overall fit.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal Patent Agent will be:

  • Deeply technical with strong life sciences fluency
  • A polished patent drafter and strategist
  • Comfortable working directly with inventors and R&D teams
  • Interested in portfolio counseling beyond routine prosecution
  • Highly organized and deadline-driven
  • Collaborative and team-oriented
