Qualifications
  • Strong interest and ability to develop in-depth knowledge of NetApp's wide range of data management solutions and obtain patent protection for new innovations.
  • Registered and in good standing to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
  • Experience as a registered Patent Agent or Patent Attorney is acceptable. A law degree is not required provided the candidate is qualified to practice before the USPTO.
  • Preferred experience includes a combination of law firm patent prosecution experience and in-house patent portfolio management experience within the technology sector.
  • Four years of experience prosecuting patents and managing patent portfolios for software, cloud computing, hybrid cloud technologies, AI-enabled technologies, and related enterprise technologies.
  • Proficient in the use of AI and patent portfolio management tools.
  • Management and copyright experience desirable.
  • Ability to build credibility, advocate, and influence business and other teams.
  • Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively with engineers and technical stakeholders and translate complex technologies into strong intellectual property strategies.
  • Ability to prioritize and deliver multiple simultaneous projects under pressure.
  • Strong collaboration skills across teams and organizations.
  • Experience working with software, cloud, SaaS, data management, storage, AI, machine learning, or related enterprise technology environments strongly preferred.
  • Domestic and international travel may be required.

Compensation:
The target salary range for this position is 147,900 - 191,000 USD. The salary offered will be determined by the candidate's location, qualifications, experience, and education and may be outside of this range. Final compensation packages are competitive and in line with industry standards, reflecting a variety of factors, and include a comprehensive benefits package. This may cover Health Insurance, Life Insurance, Retirement or Pension Plans, Paid Time Off, various Leave options, Performance-Based Incentives, employee stock purchase plan, and/or restricted stocks (RSU's), with all offerings subject to regional variations and governed by local laws, regulations, and company policies.
