    Senior Patent or Trademark Attorney

    Whippany, New Jersey Intellectual PropertyFull time Collections based earnings example US$200,000 to US$250,000; no guaranteed base

    Develop your own intellectual property practice with established prosecution support and compensation linked to the business you deliver.

    The role

    Bring a portable client practice to a role focused on patent or trademark preparation and prosecution. You will manage client relationships, develop new work and handle US and international origin matters, supported by docketing, paralegal and technology resources. Collaboration with other practitioners and occasional overflow work may be available where your technical expertise aligns. The opportunity suits a lawyer who wants substantial responsibility for building and serving their practice.

    What you will need

    You will need at least five years of relevant IP prosecution experience and a portable book you can rely on initially. Patent practitioners need appropriate technical qualifications and USPTO registration; trademark practitioners need relevant bar admission. Strong client communication, independent working and willingness to attend the Whippany office on a hybrid basis are important.
