We are looking for a junior patent prosecution associate attorney (2-4+ years) with demonstrated writing and research skills and basic experience with responding to office actions, drafting claim sets and patent applications, and invention intake. While not required, big firm experience is a plus. This position will be fast-paced and include immediate client contact with the opportunity to develop case management and client relationship management skills.

Preferred technical degrees are mechanical, chemical, or electrical engineering. We are open to other degrees.

Searching for an Opportunity to Quickly Develop Valuable Skills?  

• Would you like sophisticated work?

• Would you like more client contact and an opportunity to manage cases?

Imagine working with a team who gets it and puts as much emphasis on developing each individual member’s talents.   If you’d love to work in a collaborative environment where everyone has a voice and enjoys working on projects together to meet common goals, Klemchuk is the place for you.

PATENT PROSECUTION at Klemchuk

We are a results-oriented technology law firm that focuses on client service, professional excellence, and maintaining a positive work environment.  

If you are interested in playing a key role in advancing this culture and vision, please apply today to join the team.  

Success Behaviors:

Through over 14 years of experience, we have learned that professionals with the following values and behaviors succeed in our culture:

• Focused on delivering high-quality client service through a team effort (e.g., you are a great team player)

• Ability to “get stuff done” with a positive attitude and fast pace

• Conscientious attention to detail

• Ability to think outside the box to execute on projects based on end goal versus adhering to a detailed road map

• Proactive problem solving

• Attitude consistent with our core values — (i) great attitude... puts others first; (ii) driven to make an impact; (iii) always open to a better way; (iv) courage to do the right thing; and (v) someone you can count on

For this role, the attorney must be willing to prioritize the work of the team over individual performance.  In other words, this is a “team first” position.  “Lone rangers,” “screamers,” “jerks,” and “control freaks” will not succeed in this role.
