About the Role

The Company is seeking a Senior Patent Counsel to join its legal department. The ideal candidate will be a registered patent attorney with a minimum of 5 years' experience, particularly in the areas of ex parte reexamination proceedings, post-grant petitions, and other administrative drafting and litigation. A strong technical background is essential, with experience in diverse technologies such as video codecs, coding, cryptography, compression, signals, and wireless communications being a plus. The role involves managing patent office proceedings, drafting and filing various legal documents, and supporting senior attorneys in the management of ongoing matters. The candidate should be adept at working both independently and as part of a team, and must have excellent communication skills.

Applicants for the Senior Patent Counsel position at the company should have a State Bar and Patent Registration Examination passage, and a preference for those with additional experience in patent office examination, algorithmic and code-based subject matter, semiconductor, and integrated circuit fabrication. A background in EE or CS undergraduate degree, as well as a graduate technical degree, is also preferred. The role requires a candidate who is detail-oriented, enjoys writing and editing, and is familiar with ongoing appellate issues affecting PTAB practice. The company values diversity and is particularly interested in candidates who can bring a unique perspective to the team. The position offers the opportunity to work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment and to be part of a team that is at the forefront of patent law.
