Fuller IP Law is a values-driven intellectual property firm that helps innovators protect and grow the value of their ideas, from breakthrough therapeutics and medical devices to advanced materials, software, and hardware. We partner shoulder-to-shoulder with clients to design practical, business-aligned IP strategies, communicate proactively, and deliver clear budgets with no surprises.
We believe technical skills can be taught. What is harder to teach is genuine care for clients, strong judgment, emotional intelligence, and a commitment to helping teammates succeed. We are looking for someone who embodies those qualities and wants to build a long-term career in a collaborative professional environment.

Intellectual property experience is a plus but is not required. We are seeking someone with strong office experience, excellent communication skills, emotional intelligence, and a demonstrated ability to manage details accurately while maintaining positive relationships with clients and coworkers.
