Knobbe Martens is seeking a Patent Scientist (Bilingual Japanese/English) to work at any of their multiple offices.

Therefore, the candidate will learn about a variety of new technologies, learn to identify inventive features, learn to describe the inventions, and learn to convince the Patent Office to allow a patent for the technology.

They must be able to work independently, with a large amount of working freedom, while still communicating progress to attorneys and assistants in a timely fashion. Each Patent Scientist should have an interest in intellectual property law. In addition, each candidate will eventually participate in a patent law course and become registered with the United States Patent Office.

Education and Experience:

B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Physics, or other similar technical subject is required.
At least three to 10 years of patent prosecution experience is strongly desired.
Ability to communicate clearly and effectively with regard to technical and legal terminology, both verbally and in writing, in both Japanese and English languages.
Japanese patent attorney or Japanese law firm experience is preferred.
