Hogan Lovells US LLP is searching for a patent prosecution associate who is excited to work on cutting-edge technology for the world’s top tech companies. The right candidate will be as comfortable working on rocket engines and satellite technology as they are working on the next generation of neural networks, automation, and robotics. We are looking for someone 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 position 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.
This position will primarily involve prosecution and patent counseling 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 counseling associate with at least 2 years of experience, preferably in our San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Houston, 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.
Compensation for this role will be top-of-market, with an annualized salary range of $235,000 to $390,000 for associates, depending on the candidate’s overall experience and other job-related factors permitted by law. This position may be eligible for a discretionary or an hours-based bonus, consistent with market practice. In addition, this position will be eligible for the firm’s fringe benefits as they currently exist.
To apply, please complete the online application, attaching a resume, law school transcript, and a cover letter detailing why you are interested in this position. Cover letters may be addressed to: Ross Cummings, Senior Associate Recruitment Coordinator, Hogan Lovells US LLP, 4 Embarcadero Center, Suite 3500, San Francisco, CA 94111.
