At Ofinno, we foster an environment of collaboration and excellence, where researchers can focus on delivering breakthroughs that shape the future of technology. Position Overview:
Ofinno is seeking a technically skilled and detail-oriented Senior Patent Attorney or Agent to support our Next Generation Wi-Fi team. In this role, you will work closely with inventors to draft, file, and prosecute high-quality patent applications related to Wi-Fi and IEEE 802.11 technologies across U.S. and international jurisdictions. This position offers the opportunity to contribute directly to the development of a world-class patent portfolio in wireless communications. Depending on qualifications and experience, candidates will be considered for either the Patent Attorney/Agent or the Senior Patent Attorney/Agent role. Key Responsibilities:

- Collaborate closely with our technical experts and inventors

The writing samples preferably include:
- A patent application you wrote in the area of Wi-Fi technology
- At least one response to a USPTO or EPO Office Action, appeal brief, or Inter Partes Review submission, demonstrating your argumentation skills around novelty and non-obviousness (for example, without relying on substantive claim amendments to overcome a rejection). Please avoid submissions focused primarily on 35 U.S.C. § 101 or § 112.
- Degree in Electrical Engineering or related field encompassing wireless communications (Master's degree or higher preferred)
- Active registration to practice before the USPTO (EPO registration is a plus)
- 4+ years of patent preparation and prosecution experience (2+ years of experience working with wireless technologies preferred)
- Familiarity with EPO prosecution is a plus
- Strong organizational skills, technical acumen, and writing ability
- Demonstrated reliability, professionalism, and ability to collaborate effectively
