  • Align the patent portfolio with short- and long-term business needs and priorities by identifying and capturing patenting opportunities that arise in connection with company R&D efforts.

  • Apply knowledge of patent trends and case law developments, in combination with technical understanding, to devise patent strategies and advise stakeholders accordingly.

  • Assist with and/or conduct due diligence assessments and provide counseling based on these assessments (including freedom-to-operate, infringement and validity analyses), evaluate associated risks, and develop risk mitigation strategies.

  • Support a variety of intellectual property-related contracts and relationships with third parties (such as MTAs, CDAs, research collaborations, licensing agreements, acquisition and litigation activities, and marketing efforts) through collaborations with transactional attorneys and licensing colleagues.

  • Deliver results on-time, on-target and within-budget according to team goals.

Who you are:

  • 5 - 7+ years of experience in patent prosecution and counseling in a corporate setting and/or law firm. Law firm experience preferred.

  • Qualified EP patent attorney.

  • Advanced Degree or equivalent experience in Engineering, preferably software engineering or biomedical engineering.
