- Draft persuasive Office Action responses, particularly to likelihood-of-confusion or descriptiveness refusals.
- Handle opposition and cancellation proceedings before the TTAB.
- Draft cease-and-desist letters and help negotiate dispute resolutions between parties.
- Conduct research on brand protection and enforcement matters.
- Collaborate with senior attorneys on federal litigation preparation and case strategy.
- Participate in developing AI-assisted legal workflows that improve speed and accuracy for clients.
- Supervise paralegals, review filings, and maintain top-tier client communication.
- J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school.
- Active bar membership in at least one U.S. state (California preferred).
- 1–4 years of experience in trademark law, IP litigation, or a mix of both.
- Strong written advocacy and research skills — mock trial, moot court, or clerkship experience a plus.
- Comfortable drafting arguments, motions, or legal memoranda.
- Interest in dispute resolution and litigation — TTAB or federal IP litigation exposure preferred.
- Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple client matters efficiently.
- Experience with USPTO procedures, the Madrid Protocol, and brand enforcement strategies.
💰 Starting Salary Range: $95,000 per year, depending on experience.
⭐ Plus performance-based bonuses for filings, successful TTAB outcomes, and client satisfaction.
