Our
firm has a distinctive philosophy: we are passionately
committed to a technology-intensive and quality-oriented patent
practice, in an atmosphere of constant learning and mutual respect.
We are all trying to be the best patent professionals we can be,
and that requires all of us to keep learning from each other: seniors
from juniors as well as vice versa.
We
have a great interest in hiring and keeping exceptional patent agents
and attorneys. Our unusual practice environment will
be interesting to people who love technology: a career at our firm
requires nonstop rapid learning. Working with leading-edge technologists
in a variety of leading-edge technologies means that all of us here
often feel stupid, but that's the price of continual learning. The
ideal candidate will have a strong background in software
or electrical engineering or a related field, outstanding intellect,
and an orientation toward technology rather than litigation. We
will consider a wide variety of technically-related undergraduate
degrees, for a bright candidate (with a PTO license) who has a deep
understanding of circuit analysis, computer architecture, digital
design, solid-state physics, and/or software engineering. We look
for very high LSATs (at least mid-160s, and the higher the better).
We
are also looking for Patent Engineers. The ideal
candidate for these positions will be a very bright experienced
technologist with a strong resume in semiconductors, telecomm, or
electrical engineering, who speaks English and Chinese fluently,
who writes English very quickly and accurately, and who reads Chinese easily.
Also,
please note that we are always interested in friendly discussions
with more experienced patent attorneys who fully share our practice
philosophy.
We
also try to keep the recruiting process non-bruising. Our
firm is not a fit for everyone, nor is everyone a fit for us; but
if we do not see a fit with us we will be glad to help suggest a
better fit. Similarly, if one of our associates realizes that we
are not the best fit, we welcome a chance to frankly discuss this;
and we will be glad to help, if requested, in finding a graceful
transition into a different situation which is a better fit.
