Keen to become part of a truly global, collaborative team of professionals? Your journey begins here.

Hogan Lovells US LLP is searching for a patent agent 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.

The ideal candidate will have at least 2 years of experience and be available to sit 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. Registration to practice before the United States Patent & Trademark Office is required. 

Compensation for this role will be top-of-market, with an annualized salary range of $125,000 to $250,000 for patent agents and staff attorneys, 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, transcripts, and a cover letter detailing why you are interested in this position.
