Growth opportunity available! We are currently looking to add a Patent Agent/Technical Specialist to work closely with our legal staff. Working as part of the team, you can use your current scientific expertise to help with the legal issues that our firm is handling for our clients.
The position involves defining new inventions, providing scientific advice and oversight in patent prosecution matters, preparing patent applications for filing, prosecuting patents, reviewing and researching patent applications and third party intellectual property rights, and assisting with other legal matters. Candidates should have an advanced degree in a biological or chemical field (Ph.D. preferred), with a concentration in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology, organic, medicinal or pharmaceutical chemistry, or a closely related field.
For the right candidate, we are willing to hire a specialist without any previous patent experience. We are dedicated to helping an individual succeed both professionally and personally and we can be quite flexible in our arrangements. This can be a tremendous opportunity for someone who would like to make a switch from laboratory research to a growing patent career. We can work with the candidate to provide an alternative/flexible work arrangement and schedule.
All that is required is an ability to effectively communicate complex technical issues and a demonstrated ability to work in a team environment and with others at all levels of the organization. We are looking for dynamic individuals who are flexible and enjoy being challenged (and having some fun). In return, the successful candidate will receive intensive training in patent prosecution and will work closely with patent attorneys.
Please feel free to call or email me directly in confidence to talk about your particular situation.

In a bit of shameless self-promotion, we simply must announce that the Patent Baristas were ranked (again!) in the 2007 Edition of Chambers USA, a publication that rates attorneys and their practices based upon peer and client review.
Chambers USA touts the Intellectual Property Department as known for their “exceptional” attention to detail and impeccable biomedical knowledge. Frost Brown Todd LLC is said to boast one of the top Intellectual Property practices in the region. Clients use adjectives such as “impeccable”, “genius”, “simply superb”, and “quite excellent” in describing Stephen Albainy-Jenei, Karlyn Schnapp, Steven Goldstein and David Schmit.
From Chambers:
The Firm: As a “quality firm that provides an excellent service,” it is not surprising that Frost Brown Todd’s IP group received glowing feedback from its clients. The team handles its fair share of patent prosecution and litigation and has been undertaking a growing number of patent work in the biomedical field. Indeed, as many of its attorneys have scientific training, the group has proved to be “one of the first ports of call” for biological-related IP matters. The team is also expanding its computer-related IP work and clients in this area include Convergys and LexisNexis. The firm continues to nurture its trademark and copyright practice and has a core group of attorneys who concentrate solely on this area.
The Lawyers: Practice chair Steven Goldstein is considered a force to be reckoned with. Praised for his intelligence, clients appreciate his extensive biotech background as he focuses predominantly on patent prosecution and counseling. He has been intimately involved with developing and executing the global patent strategy for a new product line for client Chiquita Brands International. David Schmit has established “quite a name for himself” over the course of his career. He has cultivated widespread support from his peers for his work “as opposing counsel - he’s always on fine form.” The “genius” Stephen Albainy-Jenei is particularly well known for his biotech background and the experience that he has gained in the field. With a stellar background in chemistry, Karlyn Schnapp concentrates on patent prosecution in the chemical, biotech and pharmaceutical industries.
The qualities on which rankings are based include technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial awareness/astuteness, diligence, commitment, and other qualities valued by the client. Editorial comment is also derived from the research, with quotations used when they sum up the prevailing opinion of the market. The rankings and editorial comment about attorneys are independent and objective. Inclusion in the guide is based solely on the research team’s findings. For the current Global directory, over 6,500 of these interviews were conducted covering 170 countries. They were carried out by a team of 30 full-time researchers over a period of 12 months.
Now, if only we could win a Blawg Review Award…

Clients use adjectives such as “impeccable”, “genius”, “simply superb”, and “quite excellent” in describing Stephen Albainy-Jenei, Karlyn Schnapp, Steven Goldstein, David Schmit, and Joseph Dreitler.
From Chambers:
This team “understands academic culture and speaks the language of the scientist-inventor.” The firm is hoping to build on its strengths in patent litigation and the biomedical sector with a concerted push in trademark and copyright matters; this was boosted by the arrival of IP lawyers from Jones Day. The team has a healthy line in advising startups and managing cutting-edge issues for institutional clients like Ethicon. It eclipses the competition in the area of medical devices and recently handled several matters relating to spinal implants. Attorneys are active for hospitals and universities. Clients declare: “They do an excellent job of protecting and managing our creative assets .” They also “prompt us and let nothing fall through the cracks .” In a recent highlight, the team has been representing iPix in a patent infringement lawsuit concerning imaging technology on real estate Web sites.
The arrival of Joseph Dreitler from Jones Day is a triumph for the team. His trademark and copyright expertise will undoubtedly rejuvenate the firm’s IP roots. He recently successfully defended Joel Hyatt and former Vice President Al Gore against a trademark lawsuit attempting to scupper the launch of a new cable channel, CurrentTV. Chair of IP Steven Goldstein has over 30 years’ experience of patent prosecution under his belt and the useful experience of being former in-house counsel at Procter & Gamble. His background in biochemistry is invaluable to his pharmaceuticals-focused practice. The centerpiece of his year was succeeding in an EPO opposition proceeding involving a patent on the H. pylori assay. David Schmit concentrates on IP litigation and recently completed a case involving trade dress, trademark and unfair competition issues for toy companies making magnetic games. With his biotechnology background, Stephen Albainy-Jenei “speaks the language of scientists and communicates extremely well with them,” say clients. He has been busy developing a substantial patent portfolio for a pharmaceutical company’s treatment for inflammatory ailments. Karlyn Schnapp “always does an excellent job ,” in part thanks to her PhD in organic chemistry. She does opinion work for pharmaceutical companies and her clientele ranges from corporate and university researchers to entrepreneurial startups. Nicole Vickroy Hickey is now in-house counsel for Abbott Laboratories.
The qualities on which rankings are based include technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial awareness/astuteness, diligence, commitment, and other qualities valued by the client. Editorial comment is also derived from the research, with quotations used when they sum up the prevailing opinion of the market. The rankings and editorial comment about attorneys are independent and objective. Inclusion in the guide is based solely on the research team’s findings.
