GoodIP helps startups protect their innovations moving beyond filing patents. GoodIP bridges the gap between complex IP protection and high-growth business strategy. It helps founders transform their technical innovations into defensible market positions that drive company valuation.

We are looking for a sharp, commercially-minded Patent Counsel to serve as a strategic partner for a portfolio of high-growth tech startups.

• Language Skills: Professional fluency in German and English
• Startup DNA: You thrive in fast-paced environments. You are pragmatic, proactive, and capable of explaining complex legal concepts to non-lawyers.
• Attention to Detail: An uncompromising eye for detail without losing sight of the "big picture" business objectives.
• You are a good communicator. You can put your ideas into words.

• Direct impact on the growth of the European Deep Tech and Semiconductor ecosystem.
• High level of autonomy and responsibility from day one.
• You can work part-time or full-time.
• You will work remotely.
• You will work with startup founders that are changing the world.
• You will work like an inhouse patent attorney for 10 startups.
