Hogan Lovells US LLP is searching for a patent prosecution associate or patent agent who is excited to work on cutting-edge technology for the world's top tech companies. The right candidates will be as comfortable working on rocket engines and satellite technology as they are working on the next generation of artificial intelligence, encryption, automation, and robotics. There will be opportunities for crossover work as well, involving technologies such as clean energy and digital health. We are looking for candidates with the technical chops to be able to discuss details with engineers and developers, but also the confidence to interact with well-known giants in the tech world. The positions will involve a significant amount of direct partner and client interaction, and unique opportunities that come from working for a truly global law firm. We do not micro-manage - if you make the cut, that means we trust you to handle the job and will give you every opportunity to step up and run with it. These positions will primarily involve prosecution and patent counselling but will also have opportunity to support various other types of related legal work. The ideal candidate is a junior- to mid-level patent prosecution and counselling associate or patent agent, with at least 2 years of experience, preferably in our San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Houston, Boston, or Washington D.C. offices. Applicants must have a degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, applied physics, computer science, or equivalent experience, and a law degree from an ABA-accredited law school. U.S. bar membership and registration to practice before the United States Patent & Trademark Office is also required.
