Washington, United States Vanguard-IP Full time

REQUIREMENTS Seeking a highly motivated level associate with a solid background in all aspects of patent law, including patent litigation, prosecution, client counseling, licensing, and portfolio management.

Requirements include the following: * Prior law firm experience. * Candidates must be admitted to practice before at least one state court and the USPTO. * Strong command of relevant rules related to federal patent litigation, PTAB proceedings and patent examination. * Excellent research, writing, and oral advocacy skills. * Candidates will be asked to demonstrate strong writing skills. * Top academic credentials and strong interpersonal skills. * An undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field is preferred. * Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a team. * Excellent client-relation skills or the propensity to develop them depending on class year, and comfort with handling multiple matters for multiple clients at once. * Experience with other types of IP matters (trademark, copyright, trade dress, trade secret) is a plus but not a requirement.
