Melbourne, Victoria, Australia K&L Gates Australia Full time

Embark on an exciting career path as a Junior Patent Attorney at K&L Gates Australia, based in Melbourne. We are seeking a qualified professional to join our dynamic Intellectual Property (Patents) practice in a casual or contractor capacity.

This role presents an exceptional opportunity for a patent attorney with 1-3 years' experience to develop their commercial skills and work closely with highly regarded partners and senior team members. You will have the chance to collaborate with local and foreign clients across various jurisdictions.

Your key responsibilities will include drafting, filing, and prosecuting patent applications in mechanical, electrical, software, and medical device technologies. Additionally, you will perform and advise on IP due diligence, patentability, registrability, IP strategy, and freedom to operate analyses.

To be successful in this role, you should possess a degree in mechanical engineering or computer science, hands-on experience in drafting patent specifications, and demonstrated patent prosecution skills in mechanical engineering or computer science. Experience in patent searching is also essential.

We foster a collaborative environment where teamwork and excellent communication skills are highly valued. You will be expected to work autonomously and demonstrate a mature approach to your work. A high level of client service is expected, and business development skills are advantageous but not essential.

K&L Gates is a global law firm that welcomes people with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We promote equal opportunities and inclusion, and we are committed to creating a safe and supportive work environment.

The successful candidate will be offered a competitive salary package, estimated to be around $120,000-$150,000 per annum, depending on experience. This includes a base salary and potential bonuses for outstanding performance.
