About the role

MilliporeSigma in Burlington, MA is seeking a patent attorney with 3+ years of patent law experience to lead portfolio management and strategic IP counseling. You will draft, file, prosecute, and defend patents, prepare opinions, and collaborate with R&D and business teams worldwide to align IP strategy with business goals. Strong English skills, a JD, USPTO registration, and an undergraduate technical degree are required. This role does not sponsor work authorization.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
