  • A deep scientific background demonstrated by an advanced technical degree (M.S., Ph.D., or equivalent) in Chemistry or a closely related field (e.g., Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Medicinal Chemistry).
  • Demonstrated knowledge of core U.S. and international patent law concepts, specifically within the Life Sciences and Biotechnology sectors.
  • Exceptional technical writing and communication skills for drafting complex legal and scientific documents.
  • Eligibility to sit for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) registration examination.

Preferred Skills:

  • Admission to practice before the USPTO (Patent Agent registration number).
  • Ph.D. degree or M.D. in a relevant chemical discipline.
  • Previous experience in a law firm or in-house legal department environment, with a focus on patent preparation and prosecution.
  • A proactive, solution-oriented mindset and the demonstrated capacity to excel in a deadline-driven, sophisticated legal environment.
