Agents & Tech Specialists - Brooks Kushman

Agents

At Brooks Kushman, we value our agents and technical specialists’ knowledge and experience. There are ample opportunities for client contact and management, advancement within the firm, and increased compensation possibilities, a unique opportunity that isn’t regularly available at other IP or GP firms.

At Brooks Kushman, patent agents have the same opportunities for practice growth, client development, and compensation as do attorneys progressing from associate to non-equity shareholder. My practice has included working with countless clients on exciting and varied technologies that leveraged my technical expertise, developing strong client relationships, and attaining client management roles.

Stephanie Mansfield, Principal

I was a patent agent at Brooks Kushman for over five years before I became a patent attorney. The opportunities available to me as a patent attorney are similar to those that were available to me as a patent agent because my practice focuses on patent prosecution and post-grant proceedings before the USPTO, which does not require a law degree

Andrew Turner, Co-Chair of Post-Grant Proceedings

Also, we offer the below objective pay system for patent agents and technical specialists, which is the same as our pay system for associates:

An objective compensation system — 40% of billings
Opportunities for enhanced billing credit for “superbillings”
Client origination credit on par with associates
Growth opportunities on par with associates and non-equity partners
Opportunities for advancing to become a Principal within the firm as well as other perks similar to those offered to non-equity partners

If you're passionate about your career and want to help advance technology, you'll fit right in at Brooks Kushman.
