What is an art attorney?

Art attorneys are legal professionals who specialize in issues related to the art world, such as art transactions, authenticity disputes, intellectual property rights, and cultural property laws. They represent artists, collectors, galleries, museums, and auction houses in matters involving the creation, sale, purchase, and protection of artworks. Their work may include drafting contracts, handling disputes over ownership or provenance, advising on copyright and licensing, and navigating the complex legal landscape of the art market.

How does an art attorney typically collaborate with artists, galleries, and museums?

Art Attorneys frequently work alongside artists, galleries, and museums to negotiate contracts, handle intellectual property matters, and resolve disputes. They provide legal counsel on issues such as copyright, provenance, and authenticity, ensuring that all parties understand their rights and obligations. Collaboration often involves reviewing agreements, advising on regulatory compliance, and sometimes mediating between stakeholders to reach mutually beneficial solutions. This role requires strong communication skills and a deep understanding of both the art world and relevant legal frameworks.

Neugeboren O'Dowd is a full service intellectual property law firm with office locations in the Denver-Boulder, Colorado corridor.   We are looking for a highly motivated and ambitious individual who wants the opportunity to grow in a firm that values their unique talents. Although our ideal candidate is an associate patent attorney with 3-5 years experience in prosecuting EE-related patent applications, we will gladly accept any resume if you're an enterprising and resourceful EE patent attorney.  This position offers the opportunity for both remote and in-person (downtown Louisville, Colorado) work at your discretion.  This is a full time position.


Reports to: Firm Partners


Salary:  Neugeboren O'Dowd's compensation is merit and experience based but we also offer a production based compensation scheme as an option for qualified applicants.  We pride ourselves in focusing on productivity and efficiency rather than hours, time or billing minimums.  However, in order to better compare ourselves to our competitors we expect a revenue based minimum productivity goal that translates to approximately 1200-1400 billable hours per year.  As required by the Colorado Equal Pay Act, a good faith salary range for this position is approximately $150,000 - $250,000 per year.  A discretionary bonus may be available based on performance and associates are also eligible to share in client origination credit.


Firm Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, group term life insurance, short and long term disability, unlimited PTO, 401(k) automatically vested company contributions (3% of salary), employee assistance program.  In addition a large list of discounted third party services, products and supplementary benefits are offered through our benefits provider network.


Position Summary:

The Patent Attorney provides support to the partners and their clients related to projects such as patent preparation and prosecution, technology evaluation and opinion work, due diligence, prior art searching, litigation support and associated technology evaluation.


Job Requirements:  

  • Subject matter experience in all aspects of domestic and international patent prosecution.  Desired technical and educational/industry background is for electrical engineering or related subject matter.  Applicants with physics, computer science, software, mechanical engineering, consumer products, medical devices, semiconductor fabrication and associated equipment, robotics, data storage, materials science, and/or diagnostic tools will also be considered if the applicant can provide support on and/or has significant experience in prosecuting EE-based inventions. 
  • Experience in trademark prosecution/counselling and litigation is welcome but not required.
  • Patent Office Registration Number (or qualified to sit for the Patent Bar Exam with significant prosecution experience).
  • Admitted to Colorado Bar or the ability to sit for the Colorado Bar Exam.
  • Academic credentials that qualify for this role and the ability to comprehend and become proficient in new technology areas.

General Skills, Knowledge and Abilities:

  • Experience and familiarity with the Patent Application Information retrieval System (PAIR), Electronic Filing System (EFS), and Electronic Patent Assignment System (EPAS).
  • Advanced knowledge of Microsoft Word, Outlook, MS Teams, Adobe, Excel, PowerPoint, and Visio.
