Maintain accurate patent records and help ensure all prosecution-related materials are properly documented and accessible.
Support routine intellectual property administration by following up on filings, deadlines, and required case actions.
At least 1 year of experience supporting U.S. patent prosecution or intellectual property matters.
Working knowledge of USPTO filing practices, prosecution procedures, and related documentation.
Experience with docketing systems and managing deadlines for active patent matters.
