Law Clerk Program
We seek motivated individuals with technical backgrounds who intend to pursue a career in intellectual property law. Students come to us with significant industry experience in technical fields such as aerospace, chemistry, electronics, engineering, life sciences, pharmaceuticals, physics, and software, or with business experience related to IP licensing and other types of IP agreements, IP portfolio management, branding, and related "soft" IP protections.
Our highly structured and comprehensive training program introduces law students to the inner workings of a full-service intellectual property practice. Under the close supervision of COJK attorneys, our clerks help draft and prepare patent, trademark, and copyright applications and communications to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as well as assist with legal research and litigation matters.
Our goal is to provide clerks with as many professional growth opportunities as possible while encouraging them to participate in social, recreational, and community activities outside the firm. A large percentage of our clerks have joined COJK as associates after graduating from law school.
Administrative Staff
Our delivery of premier IP legal services is made possible by the talent and dedication of our elite support staff, all of whom are an important part of our continued success.
