Global Patent Solutions, LLC (GPS) is an intellectual property research and consulting firm founded to meet the demanding needs of Inventors and IP professionals around the world for high-quality patent research and consulting. From our headquarters in Scottsdale, AZ, we currently service a global client-base of IP Attorneys, Patent Agents, Business Leaders, R&D Teams, Universities, Entrepreneurs and Inventors.

This is not your ordinary, run-of-the-mill research position. Each project is unique and possesses a new challenge for you to tackle. You must be able to assess and analyze the best way to approach a project. Previous patent knowledge is great; however, it is not required. We are willing and able to train.

The Patent Analyst primarily will perform research of invention concepts related to the technologies listed above using a variety of databases and compile formal search reports to demonstrate findings to clients. A majority of work requires in-depth reading, writing and working on computers.

The position entails:

• Quickly reviewing and gaining an understanding of technical aspects of client inventions and/or technical search concepts
• Creating research strategies to best utilize time and resources when executed
• Performing extensive database research
• Reviewing, gathering and analyzing technical literature
• Reporting research findings in a timely and high-quality manner

If you can manage yourself, as micro-managing is not our style, and you are motivated to get results in a timely manner, this could be a great opportunity for you to learn and grow with a quality-driven company.

This position requires you to:

• Meet and exceed client needs and deadlines by providing viable research solutions and being reliable and dedicated to getting the job done.
• Quickly, continuously and concisely Learn, Interpret, Comprehend, Retain and Apply technical abilities. Enjoy an ongoing learning and computer-based environment that is dedicated to quality.
• Thrive in ambiguity and to self manage, prioritize and take pride in your work.
• Proactively, confidently and effectively communicate with internal team members and external clients.
• Actively participate as a team member to best serve clients and the team.
• You will mostly work on your own, but we do have a wonderful, supporting staff that requires some teamwork on occasion.
