inventors and to conduct interviews with patent examiners at the USPTO.

Responsibilities may also include working with paralegals and administrative

support to file patent applications and any necessary paperwork related to

prosecution directly with the USPTO.

Additional responsibilities include ongoing analysis of the patent portfolio to

assess costs and benefits. As part of the patent team, the in-house patent agent

participates at regular meetings with executive management to provide

information and recommendations for strategic business decisions.
