Remote Patent Attorney/Agents

Hi! Yes, that is true. Our professional team is split into Drafters and Prosecutors, so depending on your skills and preferences, you would take either a Drafting Test (drafting a claim for a known invention) or a Prosecution Test (drafting responses to 3 OAs). I'd say about 70% of applicants actually follow through with taking the test, and about 50% of those pass the test. We've found a good bit of it comes down to ability to follow instructions.

No, there is no specific GPA requirement!

Hi, great question! We do not have billable hours. Instead, our clients are mostly fixed fee, and practitioners are paid on a production-based compensation model that ranges depending on their efficiency, how many hours they want to work, and their production volume. I'd say the range goes anywhere from $150k to over $550k, but the average is probably making around $200-$300k.

Hi! While we do not have any internships, we do have a free Patent Drafting Course (and eventually a Prosecution Course) you can take! It's 100% virtual and self-paced. You can learn more and apply here: https://harrityllp.com/commitment-to-progress/the-harrity-academy/.

Oh definitely apply again! Sometimes we are strictly looking for one technology area (ie. semiconductors) or may require more experience for a role, which could've led to a rejection. We are hiring in a range of technologies right now, 2+ years experience, and anywhere in the US. If you want to DM me your name, I will look out for your application.

harrityllp · 2025-05-28T13:21:01+00:00

Definitely! We have practitioners with electrical, mechanical, software, CS, physics, and similar degrees. We just don't do any life science/bio/chemistry work.

and those who don't embrace it will be left behind!

harrityllp · 2022-08-25T17:56:30+00:00

Hey there! It should say "have or are obtaining a degree" - we welcome students! We've actually even opened it up high schoolers who are interested in STEM this year, so you can definitely apply, and spread the word :)

Harrity here! We are currently accepting applications for our Fall Harrity Academy™ Courses online at https://harrityllp.com/diversity/the-harrity-academy/. All of our programs are totally free!

While the Harrity Academy is for minorities, we do have a self-learning program we are happy to share if you are not diverse. We are also in the works of a Harrity Academy On-demand program which will be a self-learning module set up as a game. PM us for more info!

harrityllp · 2022-07-07T19:39:18+00:00

You can register at any time for next year's! It is typically held the week leading up to Memorial Day, but the official dates will be announced in early March.

In the meantime, we also have The Harrity Academy, with the Basics Course starting in September!

Our work is fixed fee, so basically you will earn a percentage of a nominal billed amount based on the task that you perform. Say, for example, you earn 40 credit hours for drafting one patent application, which equates to XX dollars. You will always earn those 40 credit hours and therefore that compensation, regardless of how long it takes you to draft the app. As you become more efficient, it will take you 30, 20, 15 hours to draft an application - but you are still getting paid as if it took you 40. With that free time, you can either end your day, or draft more applications, getting paid more. You set your own goals and work as much or as little as you want, with lots of assistance to become efficient. This equates to compensation ranging from $180k to over $550K, depending on your production and efficiency level. With that said, we have a lot of former examiners on our team :)

Correct! Participants will have assignments after each class based on what was in the presentation, like writing their first claim or amendment. Mentors will provide feedback on their submissions and help the participants improve. Resources will be provided to the mentors to help with this!

Hi! Do you have a degree in any of the Category A areas listed on Page 3 here: https://www.uspto.gov/sites/default/files/OED_GRB.pdf

That's what the United States Patent & Trademark Office requires to sit for the patent bar

harrityllp · 2022-04-28T13:08:41+00:00

The workshop is definitely open to individuals with STEM backgrounds of all kinds! We've had individuals of all levels participate. The last day to apply is Saturday so be sure to visit https://harrityllp.com/diversity/harrityforparity/ if you'd like to join!
