Patent Agent

A growing Bay Area intellectual property boutique is seeking a Patent Agent to support its patent prosecution practice on a contract-to-hire basis. The firm is also open to considering Patent Attorneys with strong patent prosecution experience aligned with the needs of the practice. This role supports a broad range of startup, SaaS, ecommerce, software, consumer product, and emerging technology clients within a collaborative, entrepreneurial boutique environment. The firm is seeking a practitioner who can proactively manage prosecution workflow, communicate directly with inventors and clients, and help move matters forward independently from intake through prosecution. This is an excellent opportunity for someone seeking substantive responsibility, direct client interaction, and long-term growth within a lean IP practice.
