A Different Kind of Patent Agent

Kubota & Basol LLP (K&B) was founded upon a simple principle: To offer our clients the highest-quality patent legal services while liberating them from the rigid and exorbitant cost structures imposed by large corporate law firms that often lead to rushed and lower-quality work product. Our clients are never forced to decide between high-quality legal counsel or reasonable pricing. At K&B, they can have both. About the role Patent Agents at K&B are distinguished by direct client contact for all aspects of application drafting and patent prosecution. They are encouraged to direct or participate in disclosure meetings with clients, lead drafting of patent applications, and interface with clients to incorporate feedback. They also take a lead role in Examiner interviews, drafting responses and appeal briefs, and delivering oral arguments at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). At K&B, you are the point-person for your cases, with support to develop your practice. Our primary goal is to train practitioners to become independent and capable patent prosecutors in their own right; not merely to support an attorney with analysis and initial drafts. Please ask us more about how K&B is different during our interviews. Qualifications and experience Two+ years of patent prosecution experience. Electrical engineering and/or computer science degrees are preferred; other technical degrees will be considered, including mechanical engineering, physics, and software. Compensation and location Compensation will match qualifications. Our main office is located in Los Angeles, but remote working arrangements with visits to the Los Angeles office are completely acceptable. We are also looking to grow a team in the Northern Virginia and Washington D.C. areas; contributing to and participating in the development of that team could be a great opportunity.
