WilmerHale Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features. Technology Specialists in WilmerHale's intellectual property ("IP") practice are involved in a wide variety of types of work supervised by attorneys, including patent prosecution, client counseling, opinions, patent litigation and IP transactional matters. For example, Technology Specialists typically work with inventors; prepare patent applications and replies to communications from patent offices during the patent application process; conduct scientific journal and patent searching on Internet databases; prepare letters of instruction to foreign counsel for foreign counterparts to U.S. patent applications; assist lawyers in the preparation of patentability, validity, freedom to operate and infringement opinions; assist lawyers in reviewing file histories of patents and technical literature; assist with analyses of issues that arise in patent litigation; adhere to a standard of ethics; and participate in special projects and other duties assigned.
We are seeking a Technology Specialist candidate with a bachelor's degree and advanced degree in computer science, electrical engineering or related disciplines. Focus on artificial intelligence is a plus. Experience with deep learning models including transformer architectures also a plus.

A Technology Specialist may be offered a position to participate in WilmerHale's summer associate program during the summer after his/her third year of law school. If WilmerHale extends an offer for an associate position, a Technology Specialist is then expected to take the appropriate state bar exam and become an associate at WilmerHale. Technology Specialists are eligible to participate in the firm's tuition reimbursement program for law school. Candidates should have strong academic credentials and/or prior work experience as well as strong written and verbal communication skills.
