DESIGN PATENT ATTORNEY (Full-Time / Part-Time) – Tired of the demands and long hours of big firm practice? SAIDMAN DesignLaw Group, located near the Silver Spring metro, is a small but busy intellectual property boutique that is perhaps the leading law firm in the US that specializes in industrial design protection and enforcement. We are committed to the philosophy of working hard while we’re here, and having time to enjoy life outside the firm. Therefore, evening and weekend hours are the great exception, rather than the rule.
We are seeking a motivated, full-time or part-time attorney (20-40 hours/wk) who has considerable experience and training as a patent lawyer. The ideal candidate, in addition to being drawn to our firm philosophy, is an experienced, registered patent attorney, with excellent credentials, who loves the legal side of being an IP lawyer. We desire someone who has great attention to detail, can work independently in a wide variety of IP tasks including utility patent, design patent, opinion, agreement and enforcement matters. Litigation experience is a plus, as we are handling quite a few design enforcement matters. Our 'technology' is industrial designs, which means aesthetic appearances (using design patent, trade dress and copyright laws) and light mechanical (utility patent). Experience in preparing and prosecuting design patent applications is a big plus.
An equal opportunity employer.
