Patent Agent (Opthalmology, Medical Devices) - EIP US - Denver, CO
Denver, CO

EIP US offers a chance to join a team of IP professionals on three continents, serving interesting and (almost exclusively) direct clients. The IP work includes the full life-cycle of patent work originating from the US but also providing US support to clients from the EIP Europe offices.

EIP is an innovator in the IP market. We operate non-traditional structures and attitudes that encourage autonomy and responsibility whilst delivering the best possible solutions for the clients we serve. Paperless systems, collaborative working across three key IP jurisdictions and modern working practices drive the EIP business.

Technical competence in the field of electronic engineering, including practical IP experience in areas such as software, telecoms, computer hardware and related processes is important and an academic background in a high-tech field is essential. Crucially, we will need our new colleague to pick up cases from day one and so demonstrable practical experience in these technical fields as a patent agent or attorney is fundamental.

We don’t believe in traditional structures and so it’s important that you are excited by the opportunity to join an innovator in the IP field.

Due to new client opportunities, EIP US is looking for a new patent agent to join the team in Denver.

Specifically, EIP is looking to add expertise in the field of medical devices and ophthalmology. The successful candidate will work closely with a client on preparation and prosecution of patent applications. There will be a need to work on-site with a client as well as within the EIP infrastructure. However, when not with the client, working remotely / from home are actively considered for the right candidate.

Candidates should have a relevant degree (including but not limited to engineering, bioengineering, physics or optics) and have gained a strong understanding of patent applications in the field of medical devices. Patent experience will include drafting of applications and responses. Experience gained in-house or in academia is equally as viable as experience from a law firm.

Candidates should be excited by the prospect of working for an innovator in the IP market and working in a non-traditional way. A focus on client delivery is essential as is an ability to interact effectively with client contacts with varying levels of patent expertise. Crucial to success is the ability to quickly form effective working relationships both with colleagues at EIP and client organisations.

A competitive salary and benefits package is on offer.

Building on recent success, EIP Digital is looking to expand to keep up with the pace of client demand.

Attorneys who have passed, or are exempt from, their foundation papers are of interest but we are also actively looking for attorneys up to and including senior associates.

Experience of working on IP in the electronics field is essential with a background in electronic engineering or related subjects preferred. There is a healthy mix of direct client and foreign associate work on offer and attorneys can expect a broad mix of technical subject matter.

Our recently refurbished Bath & Cardiff offices offer a modern, dynamic environment in which attorneys at all levels are thriving. You may already be based locally to one of these offices, but whether you are seeking a move to a bustling capital city or a historic spa town, the EIP West group has something to offer.

If you are interested in this role, have the requisite expertise but are interested in one of our other offices, do get in touch. Opportunities exist across our 4 UK offices.

The successful attorney will handle a mixture of work. This will include drafting and prosecution work but there is also a chance to combine a prosecution caseload with some exciting work in litigation support where the opportunity allows.

We are looking for a candidate who can offer expertise in electronics matters and who is familiar with technologies in the software and wireless / telecoms sectors, though all backgrounds will be considered. Due to EIP’s predominantly direct client base, experience in handling drafting & prosecution on behalf of direct clients would be advantageous. This role will also include an element of client care and the successful attorney will have the chance to mange client accounts, both interfacing with the client themselves and coordinating the EIP team internally to ensure high levels of service delivery.

For those outside London, our state-of-the-art IT and communication systems mean we can consider attorneys for any of our UK offices.

And it is not just our IT! With stylish modern offices, a smart casual dress policy, a generous bonus structure and a team of outgoing, supportive colleagues, come and see why EIP is truly "Better; different"!

EIP Dynamics, the mechanical engineering arm of EIP, is continuing to develop at a rapid rate. Increased work from existing clients has been supplemented by additional client acquisitions allowing the group to bring in some new attorneys.

Typically, the technical work will include (but is not limited to) manufacturing, logistics, aeronautical and consumer device technologies. This is almost exclusively direct client work on behalf of multinational corporations across various sectors.

We would expect candidates to have qualified as a UK and European Patent Attorney, though we will also consider those waiting for their most recent and final set of exams. An academic and practical background in engineering and mechanical matters is essential with any experience touching on high-tech inventions being helpful (though not essential). You will be comfortable working in a modern, fast-paced environment where you are given a level of autonomy to do your work.

With our state-of-the-art, paperless systems we can place this role in any UK office without compromising the quality of work on the attorney's desk.

We are interested to hear from qualified solicitors at around the 3-5 pqe level who are seeking an opportunity to build on their reputation in this niche area of practice.

As a 'trusted lieutenant' to the partners you will be tasked with managing specific projects on our high profile patent litigation caseload. We therefore require someone who can demonstrate a track record in this field, with experience of supervising and guiding more junior associates, and who can demonstrate experience in High Court and/or IPEC litigation cases.

In a medium sized team there is a tangible opportunity to handle a significant proportion of the litigation caseloads, beyond the usual remit of many equally qualified associates in larger firms. You will be given the opportunity to build on your abilities to operate autonomously within a collaborative, inclusive and modern working environment.

Leading remuneration package available.
