Careers

TMBTQ is seeking an experienced trademark and IP law attorney to join our small but mighty, growing law firm. Do you dream of drafting the perfect document? Does a clean trademark search report give you thrills and chills? Do you enjoy working with entrepreneurs crafting new business offerings? If so, this might be your dream job!

​

We are an entrepreneurial trademark firm on track for aggressive growth and we need an experienced trademark lawyer to join our team and work directly with the owner and other attorneys to support our clients.

We are known for helping our clients protect their businesses and brands.

We are growing fast, and we need a lawyer who can hit the ground running with minimal oversight.

​

This position will be responsible for important work, including:

• Counseling clients to suggest the best course of action for their situations;

• Taking the lead in researching, analyzing and communicating to clients the results of trademark searches;

• Filing new trademark applications;

• Preparing copyright applications;

• Working with clients to find appropriate specimens of use for Statements of Use and Renewals (and then filing those documents);

• Researching and preparing persuasive Responses to Office Actions from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office;

• Proactively monitoring clients' trademarks for infringement;

• Preparing Letters of Protest, Cease and desist letters or correspondence to opposing parties when necessary;

• Drafting documents and counseling clients in Trademark Trial and Appeal Board matters;

• Other projects as assigned.

​

NECESSARY CHARACTERISTICS AND QUALITIES

• You smile when you answer the phone

• You feel a sense of urgency and understand that trademark filings are time sensitive. Not because you want to get it off of your plate and cruise the internet, but because you want to give our clients answers to their burning questions sooner rather than later

• You respond promptly to communications

• You have a sickening degree of attention to detail

• You will keep contemporaneous time entries and use our preferred practice management system and not burden our legal assistant with handwritten time entries, random emails, or other unacceptable ways of keeping track of your time

• You are an awesome juggler of tasks and can change gears quickly

• You do not whine about tasks that are “beneath you”

​

We love to help people learn and grow. But we don’t have the time for that right now.

We need a trademark attorney with experience in both trademark prosecution and disputes as well as copyright law.

You have at least seven years of experience in trademark law. You're willing to put your head down and get serious about work, while avoiding distractions and the siren call of social media. Trademark law IS your dream job. The ideal candidate will be able to take the initiative on work that needs to be done and complete tasks with minimal hand holding.

​

This is an opportunity for full time employment and bonus compensation for those who can demonstrate their profitability. You will be expected to keep track of your time, though you are not responsible for business development. We have plenty of work, we just need another awesome attorney to do it!  You must be willing to work U.S. business hours (9-5 MST) and be responsive during the workday.

In the first paragraph explain what you believe are the 3 most important qualities needed in someone who works with trademark clients and why you believe they are the most important qualities.
