Trademark and Advertising

Employment Type:

Full-Time

Wilson Sonsini’s Trademark and Advertising practice helps clients from AI and biotech startups to game-changing public companies build, vet, and defend their brands. Much of the work has no clear precedent, from AI-generated voices and likenesses to virtual worlds and influencer marketing, so you often advise before a problem ever reaches a courtroom.

We are looking for an associate with 2-5 years of experience in trademark, copyright, advertising, and Internet liability who wants real ownership of enforcement and dispute work. You will clear and prosecute trademarks, handle oppositions and enforcement from demand letters to federal litigation, and advise on advertising claims for clients with global ambitions. Sharp writing and practical creativity matter here, and a sense of humor is always appreciated. For more information, click the Details button.
