US Practitioner Search
Before searching, learn more about this search tool and understand its limitations.
- You can enter technology terms like "encryption", "battery electrolyte", "malaria" or prosecution-related terms like "alice", "ksr" or "unexpected results". You can also use boolean and proximity search operators to focus your search. See our main search page for syntax details.
- It is important to understand several limitations of this search tool:
- Associations between cases and attorneys/agents in our database are made, in part, using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) processing of image-based patent records. OCR is not perfect, so some cases may be missassociated.
- This search is based on information derived from a sampling of patent file wrapper records. That means that attorney profiles are not complete. Some will be more complete than others.
- Please note that our profiles are built from a blend of publicly available data sources.
- What does this mean?
- You should not make direct comparisons between attorneys/agents in this database.
- This search tool should only be used to help you identify attorneys/agents that have experience in a certain technology area, with a certain prosecution topic or that may have experience working with specific companies. It can also help you find an attorney in a certain geographical area.
Quick guide to using this tool:
- Enter technical keywords that describe the ideal candidate's prosecution experience (but please do not describe a specific invention).
- Add additional filters to narrow the field to a manageable list of potential candidates.
- Use your existing recruiting processes (e.g. in-house HR or an external recruiter) to reach out to those practitioners that you have determined may be a good fit.
- During the interview process, use the practitioner's profile to aid in preparing and conducting an efficient interview (feel free to share it with him/her)
