IP Litigation Attorney (ITC)

Scale LLP is seeking an Intellectual Property Attorney with ideally 10+ years of significant ITC litigation experience. Our growing patent litigation practice has a need for attorneys with substantive experience to make an immediate contribution on existing cases. We value, and reward, creativity, collaboration, and a willingness to roll-up your sleeves and do whatever it takes to get projects done and make them excellent. This is a fully remote position.

Who We Are:

Called the “Wave of the Future” by Reuters, Scale LLP is a top-tier distributed law firm built by Silicon Valley founders and GCs to provide an alternative to a traditional private practice. By leveraging modern technology and a distributed structure, we provide attorneys with a more satisfying, flexible, lucrative practice and clients with a more connected, efficient legal service provider. Scale is full-service, with practice groups including Intellectual Property, Litigation, Corporate, Fintech, and Real Estate. Although Scale was founded as a boutique supporting early-stage, venture-backed companies, our diverse network of attorneys work for a variety of clients across the country and internationally including well-established public and private companies. At Scale, you will have the opportunity to work directly with world class attorneys who have practiced both in-house as Public Company GCs and in BigLaw domestically and internationally.

Who We're Seeking:

We are seeking a seasoned attorney with experience with International Trade Commission section 337 litigation who is looking to work on cases of significant importance to our clients.

You may be a perfect fit if you:

• Have played a meaningful role in patent and trademark litigations before the ITC
• Have in-depth knowledge of ITC procedure and patent law and procedure
• Have inter partes review experience
• Have taken or defended numerous depositions of technical expert witnesses 
• Have excellent research and writing skills
• Enjoy owning a significant piece of litigation or dispute and leading teams
• Are team- and growth-oriented, and enjoy working with colleagues who share that approach

How We Work:

Scale attorneys are not salaried; instead, Scale pays attorneys a percentage of the fees collected from their clients. Unlike in a traditional law firm setting, where attorneys typically receive a third of the value they create for the law firm, Scale attorneys net a combination of collected origination and matter responsible fees.

Association as Counsel. We are willing to accept attorneys from senior in-house positions with no demonstrable book as counsel. Because the firm’s collections-based model only works for attorneys capable of developing client work, however, we require applicants to identify at least one anchor client and articulate a clear business development plan at association.

Partnership. To be considered for a lateral partnership, we ask that applicants be prepared to demonstrate a significant transferrable book of originations and be in position to generate outgoing work for another attorney or attorneys at the firm. 

In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification form upon hire.
