About the Position: • We are seeking an experienced patent attorney to join our firm. This person must have at least four years experience in patent prosecution and counseling. • The candidate must have experience in patent prosecution of computer technology inventions. We strongly prefer that the candidate have either a degree in electrical engineering or computer science. • The primary purpose of this hire is to replace one of our patent attorneys, who plans to retire soon. Specifically, we want to find an attorney who can take primary responsibility for our substantial patent-prosecution relationship with a large, publicly-traded patent client. • We are open to discussing various work schedules and compensation models. Yet, with great success, we have used a model where one earns a substantial percentage of one’s collected productivity plus a percentage of one’s collected origination. • This model pays partner-level percentages of productivity and origination without the lawyer having to make a capital contribution. • It eliminates the need for a billable hour goal and gives you work flexibility. • We take and keep only clients who pay on time, so working on a collected fees basis has worked fine. • A candidate must have each of these attributes to be considered: • At least four years of patent prosecution experience in a reputable legal environment, • A reputation for doing high-quality work and for staying abreast of relevant IP legal developments, • Solid educational credentials, • Good writing and client-counseling ability, and • A friendly and kind personality. • While not required, it would be a bonus for a candidate to have these attributes: • Experience and interest in trademarks, copyrights and licensing, and • Exposure to intellectual property litigation.
A small technology company is seeking a patent professional to draft and prosecute patent applications, mainly in the electrical and software fields.

Brake Hughes Bellermann LLP seeks a patent attorney for its patent prosecution practice. Our firm handles patent prosecution and counseling for a range of technologies, including computers, software, electronics, mechanical engineering, and networking/communications. We offer a friendly and flexible work environment with an “office-less” structure. While the firm is based in Washington, DC, several of our attorneys are located on the West Coast, and we will consider non-DC locations for qualified candidates.
We are one of the few firms that aspires to be a full-service patent prosecution firm in a truly virtual setting. By contrast, various other firms have a physical presence somewhere but allow attorneys to work remotely. However, we understand that such remote attorneys struggle with the partnership track or otherwise to fit in or advance within the firm culture. Also, there are micro, 1-3 person firms that are completely virtual but that don't offer real growth prospects for an incoming attorney. We feel BHB is unique because we can offer candidates the opportunity to grow their career in a traditional sense of developing their practice, participating in the firm’s growth, eventually becoming partner, etc., while allowing them flexibility of location.
Compensation at BHB is highly competitive with other Washington, DC-based firms. Benefits include 401k, medical, and dental insurance.
Requirements: • Ability to understand complex information and to explain the information clearly • Excellent written and oral communication skills • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer science, physics, or related fields (advanced degree and/or industry experience preferred) • 2-8 years of experience with preparing and prosecuting U.S. patent applications • Registration to practice before the USPTO
