USPTO Careers
At the USPTO, we don’t just protect innovation. We safeguard the very heart of American progress. As the nation’s leader of intellectual property, we play a vital role in driving U.S. innovation and global competitiveness for the benefit of all Americans.
We’re seeking individuals who are deeply committed to making government more efficient, more transparent, and more impactful. Here you won’t just process applications, you’ll strengthen one of the foundational systems of our nation: a system that rewards ingenuity, fuels enterprise, and honors the Constitution’s call to “promote the progress of science and useful arts,” which means encouraging innovation by granting creators the rights to their ideas, so they can share them with the world and drive our economy forward.
If you believe that public service is your calling and that the ideals of our Constitution should be reflected in how we work every day, there’s a place for you at the USPTO.
