The listing
This role is for one of our clients
Compensation: $90 - $100 per hour
Role Overview
- We are seeking senior intellectual property professionals to build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in patent prosecution, licensing, and IP enforcement contexts.
- The workflows are calibrated to the technical complexity, commercial stakes, and procedural scope of major patent portfolios, licensing programs, and IP litigation.
- This role builds worlds on two tracks: a US track (35 U.S.C., MPEP, USPTO procedure) and an International track (European Patent Convention, PCT, WIPO treaties). Experts qualified in either or both tracks are encouraged to apply.
- Contributors design IP scenarios, draft reference outputs, and write rubrics that capture how senior IP counsel think.
Requirements
Key Responsibilities
- Construct IP scenarios spanning patent prosecution and portfolio strategy, trademark and copyright disputes, and complex licensing or technology transfer processes.
- Build tasks across patent prosecution, IP litigation and enforcement, trademark and copyright practice, licensing and technology transfer, and freedom-to-operate analysis.
- Develop scenarios involving tools such as patent search platforms (PatSnap, Innography, USPTO PatFT), IP docketing and portfolio management systems (Anaqua, CPA Global), and claim-charting tools used across major IP practices.
- Apply IP methodologies (patentability analysis, claim construction, freedom-to-operate review) to the standards track a world targets (US: 35 U.S.C., MPEP, Federal Circuit precedent; International: EPC, PCT, WIPO treaties), and produce reference patent applications, office action responses, licensing agreements, and litigation memoranda.
- Author rubrics that distinguish authentic IP judgment from generic law school or bar exam-level recall.
Ideal Qualifications
- 5+ years working as an IP attorney or patent agent at a major IP firm or corporate IP department (Fish & Richardson, Finnegan, Wilson Sonsini, or in-house IP counsel at a technology or pharmaceutical company).
- Direct ownership of patent prosecution portfolios, licensing negotiations, or IP litigation matters.
- Fluency in IP tooling and methodologies, plus understanding of how USPTO/EPO procedure and international treaty systems actually work.
- A recognized professional credential is strongly preferred (JD with bar admission and USPTO patent bar registration, or an international equivalent such as European Patent Attorney); a technical/STEM background plus prior rubric or training authorship is a plus.
