We are actively seeking lateral patent prosecution associates and patent agents with an advanced degree in the biological sciences (a Ph.D. is preferred). Candidates should have excellent academic credentials and preferably 5+ years of experience prosecuting patent applications relating to biotechnology. Excellent writing, interpersonal, and communication skills are required.

We are committed to promoting diversity within Klarquist, and strongly encourage candidates who come from backgrounds historically underrepresented in the patent legal profession (e.g., based on gender, race, ethnicity, culture, religion, sexual orientation, military service, and disability) to apply.

Klarquist professionals could practice anywhere; at the largest law firms and companies, and in the largest cities. They chose Klarquist because here they can pursue both their passion for law and their passion for life. Our reputation for excellence and emphasis on maintaining a work/life balance attract experienced attorneys from large general practice firms as well as IP boutiques, and appeal to top students from national and local law schools.
