Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP

firm. We are currently seeking candidates with technical backgrounds for our
patent agent program. This position would be based out of either Menlo Park, CA
or New York, NY. A candidate must have strong written and oral communication
skills in addition to technical background and/or education. Applicant must be
registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or, if not
