Job Details

What You’ll Do

  • Draft new patent applications focused on software inventions with clear technical narratives and strong claim strategy
  • Manage prosecution from filing through allowance, including office-action responses, interviews, amendments, and examiner strategy
  • Translate complex product concepts into patentable subject matter, defensible claim scope, and portfolio roadmaps
  • Partner directly with founders, in-house counsel, product leaders, and engineering teams to capture inventions efficiently
  • Conduct patentability and landscape analysis to guide filing decisions, continuation strategy, and competitive positioning
  • Maintain excellent client communication, timelines, and docket hygiene across multiple matters

What We’re Looking For

  • JD from an accredited law school
  • Licensed attorney in good standing
  • Registration to practice before the USPTO
  • At least 5 years of software-focused patent preparation and prosecution experience at a law firm
  • At least 100 patents drafted from scratch
  • Strong drafting skills across specs, claims, and responses, with a track record of moving applications forward efficiently
  • Comfort working with technical stakeholders and asking the right questions to uncover invention novelty
  • Ability to manage multiple deadlines with consistent quality and minimal supervision
  • Experience with AI-related inventions, cloud systems, cybersecurity, distributed systems, databases, networking, or similar software domains

Nice to Have

  • Experience advising on portfolio strategy for product lines, platform releases, and roadmap-driven filing programs
  • Prior client-facing responsibility including scoping, timelines, and expectation-setting
  • Exposure to post-grant support, informal validity risk review, and freedom-to-operate style issue spotting

A Strong Fit Candidate Looks Like

  • You can turn a rough engineering whiteboard into a clean invention story and claim set without hand-holding
  • You’re comfortable owning a docket, driving examiner strategy, and keeping clients proactively updated
  • You write like a strategist, not a stenographer, and you draft claims with purpose
  • You enjoy collaborating with builders and you know how to get crisp answers from technical teams
  • You’ve built repeatable workflows that keep quality high while moving fast
