An established law firm is seeking a Mid-Senior Level Patent Attorney to join its growing Intellectual Property practice. This hybrid opportunity offers the chance to work on a diverse portfolio of domestic and international patent matters while supporting a broad range of IP and commercial advisory work. The role provides significant client contact and encourages active participation in business development within a collaborative, team-oriented environment.

The successful candidate will be a licensed Patent Attorney with at least five years’ experience in patent prosecution and related intellectual property matters gained within a private practice environment. Experience advising on trademarks, software development and licensing agreements, trade secrets, copyrights, confidentiality agreements, and domain name disputes would be advantageous.
