Specialized Patent Attorney for Long-Term Remote Engagement

Specialized Interim Patent Attorney for Long-Term Remote Engagement

PROBLEM

A global biotechnology company required a highly specialized patent attorney for a long-term remote contract engagement. The role demanded expertise in patent preparation and prosecution, particularly for patents related to small molecule drugs and digital technologies. Additionally, the candidate needed to be proficient in patent database searches, including company, compound, validity, FTO, and landscape searches. The company lacked internal resources with the necessary expertise in this specialized area, and given the specific requirements of the role, they anticipated difficulty in finding a suitable candidate.

SOLUTION

Latitude provided a qualified patent attorney who exceeded the company’s expectations. This attorney brought a strong educational background, substantial experience in chemical patent prosecution, and significant expertise in patent database searches, honed during their time as a USPTO patent examiner. The engagement, which lasted eight months, allowed the company to meet their immediate needs with a highly skilled professional while ensuring continuity and expertise in their intellectual property strategy.
