What is a patent intern?

A Patent Intern assists patent attorneys, agents, or examiners in researching, drafting, and reviewing patent applications. They may analyze prior art, ensure patent compliance, and support intellectual property (IP) protection efforts. This role is common in law firms, corporate IP departments, and research institutions. It provides hands-on experience in patent law, technical writing, and legal analysis, making it ideal for students in law, science, or engineering fields.

What types of projects or tasks can I expect as a patent intern?

As a Patent Intern, you can expect to work on projects such as conducting prior art searches, reviewing technical disclosures, and assisting with the preparation and filing of patent applications. You might collaborate with patent attorneys and researchers to analyze inventions and determine patentability. Interns often gain hands-on experience with legal documents, support administrative patent tasks, and may participate in team meetings or innovation review sessions. This experiential learning helps you develop a deeper understanding of the patent process and build valuable skills for future roles in intellectual property law or patent examination.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a patent intern?

To thrive as a Patent Intern, you typically need strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a background in science, engineering, or law. Familiarity with patent databases, Microsoft Office, and basic knowledge of patent filing systems such as the USPTO or EPO is valuable. Effective communication, curiosity, and the ability to work both independently and within a team are important soft skills. These qualities are essential for accurately reviewing technical documents, supporting patent attorneys, and contributing to the innovation protection process.

Job description

Unified is now accepting applications for legal internship and fellowship positions for assisting with its legal and database activities (including PATROLL prior art search contests). A technical background is highly preferred, although some training will be given (e.g., how to search for prior art). Experience with Excel and/or Google Sheets is a must. Interns and fellows will potentially have the ability to assist with reeexamination analytics and drafting of papers in EPR proceedings.

We offer flexibility and the option to work remotely. Internships can be paid or unpaid based on experience. During the position, there will be opportunities to win prize money for contests to find successful prior art on specific patents.

Unified Patents is a member-based organization that seeks to deter NPE litigation within its protected zones of technology. Unified accomplishes this goal in a variety of ways. One way is by filing ex partes reexamination proceedings (EPRs) challenging the validity of NPE-controlled patents. In addition, Unified provides a variety of patent and reexamination data to assist companies in making informed licensing and litigation decisions. Unified also makes this data available to the public for independent study or research.

Requirements

Experience with MS Excel, Google Sheets

JD candidate or graduate

  • Highly preferred to have completed at least one intellectual property course

Undergraduate degree in a field of science or engineering highly preferred

Experience with prior art searching and analysis preferred
