Fortune Cookie Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Are you passionate about assisting businesses in protecting their intangible assets to gain a competitive edge in the market? If so, you could be the perfect fit for our team. We are a dynamic intellectual property law firm with ambitious growth goals. We are currently in search of a skilled legal professional with experience in federal court litigation to collaborate with clients, the team, and the founder. Our main focus is representing clients in federal courts nationwide, as well as in the Florida state courts. Additionally, we handle cases at the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), and the Copyright Claims Board (CCB). Beyond providing legal services, we are dedicated to delivering innovative solutions to safeguard clients' intellectual property.

We are looking for a litigator with previous exposure to federal court proceedings, a proactive attitude, and a keen willingness to contribute effectively from day one. Our ideal candidate is focused on client satisfaction over simply billing to meet a requirement. Furthermore, our ideal candidate is committed to always providing a quality job, which includes remaining current on all deadlines and meeting them with time for appropriate review.

Our team, including attorneys and staff, upholds the highest standards of excellence, and we expect the same commitment from our new team members. We are seeking individuals who are professional in their interactions with clients, colleagues, and opposing counsel, and who can demonstrate initiative and autonomy in completing tasks. We have full confidence in the abilities of our team members and are committed to supporting their professional growth within our firm. While prior experience in intellectual property law is preferred, it is not mandatory. For those new to this practice area, the ability to follow instructions diligently is essential.

Though not required, being a registered patent attorney is ideal.

Please craft a cover letter in two paragraphs. Firstly, outline three essential qualities that you believe are crucial for a successful patent formation and prosecution lawyer, and provide the rationale behind your choices. Secondly, explain what specifically attracts you to this role. Conclude your cover letter with the statement “I have reviewed and complied with the instructions outlined in the job posting.”
