EmploymentCrossing.com Launches IntellectualPropertyCrossing.com

PR Log (Press Release) – Jun 09, 2008 – Pasadena, CA  – EmploymentCrossing.com launched IntellectualPropertyCrossing.com today.  

Some lawyers specialize in the growing field of intellectual property, helping to protect clients’ claims to copyrights, artwork under contract, product designs, and computer programs.  Issues related to this field also involve patents, government rules and regulations, contracts with other companies, personal property interests, or collective bargaining agreements with unions.  Competition to most of the law schools is very intense; searching for jobs with intellectual property legal avenues is even tougher.  

According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment trends for lawyers overall is predicted to increase by 11% over the decade 2006-2016.  The BLS further predicts that there would be an increasing demand of lawyers dealing with intellectual property issues. Even paralegals and legal assistants related to intellectual property would be in great demand, as employment trends over the decade is predicted to be around 22% for them.

But is it hard to land up with a decent job? A. Harrison Barnes, founder and CEO of IntellectualPropertyCrossing.com says “In this market, it is extremely hard to get a job with a recruiter, and recruiters typically work with very few companies.  Job openings that are not widely known or publicized are the easiest jobs to get.”

“IntellectualPropertyCrossing.com is a research company, and our job is to find every intellectual property job out there for people in the legal industry,” Barnes says.  “We do not charge employers to post jobs with us, and we aggressively monitor the hiring needs of every customer service employer we can find.  IntellectualPropertyCrossing is a service that I believe will change the legal industry and how people find jobs forever.”

According to Barnes, the most popular searches on the site thus far were:
