Patent Attorney Recruiter Firms

Most patent attorney recruiters do not charge the professional, but rather the employer. For this reason, many recruiters will not accept individuals without any experience in patent law. Employers will not want to pay the extra recruitment fees for those with no work experience (this does not mean they will not hire you, merely that they will not hire you through a patent attorney recruiter).

Often, the minimum limit for working with a recruiter is 1-2 years of work experience. This just means you will need to find your first job on your own, and then you may start receiving interest from recruiters.

At least two of the patent attorney recruiter firms on our list will send out a mailer to everyone who passed the Patent Bar exam. However, it is not likely they will work with you until you have experience. Refer to our patent attorney job (or patent agent job) resources page for job sites and tips on getting your first job.
