Review new client technologies to determine potentially patentable features.

Review issued patents.

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.

Must be willing to engage in business development activities, including seminars, client social interactions and international travel.
Must be independently motivated to succeed and measure success on a team level.
Qualified candidates will possess strong academic credentials and exceptional oral and written communication skills.
