Job description
Amazon is seeking an exceptional Corporate Counsel for our Patent Licensing & Transactions team, where you'll drive high-stakes patent licensing and transactions and help shape strategy for one of the world's most valuable IP portfolios.
Working with a small but creative team, you'll manage pre-litigation patent assertions and build processes to track and respond to licensing opportunities. You'll partner with business leaders, patent engineers, and litigators to solve complex global IP problems with practical solutions - even when the facts are ambiguous and the law is unclear.
The ideal candidate for this role pairs a strong patent licensing background with some patent litigation experience. Seattle, WA or Arlington, VA are the preferred locations, although New York, NY may be considered
Occasional domestic or international travel may be required.
Key job responsibilities
- Evaluate and manage pre-litigation patent assertions - from discussions with individual inventors to global SEP campaigns across multiple businesses
- Structure, draft, and negotiate patent licenses, cross-licenses, and settlement agreements
- Develop templates, playbooks, and scalable processes to efficiently address recurring IP risks and issues
- Identify and execute strategic patent acquisitions, including negotiating patent purchase and sale agreements and joint development agreements
- Partner with patent litigation and prosecution colleagues to align strategy and priorities across licensing, litigation, and portfolio development
- Manage outside counsel on complex negotiations and transactions, balancing quality, speed, and cost
A day in the life
Your primary focus is managing pre-litigation patent assertions, from evaluating licensing opportunities to negotiating and closing major patent licensing deals. You'll collaborate daily with patent engineers and attorneys to dive into technology and work with litigators and business leaders to align on strategy. No two days look the same - you might spend your morning negotiating a deal and your afternoon developing strategy for patent pool engagement.
About the team
This fast-moving team focuses on strategic patent licensing, pre-litigation patent assertions, and collaborations with universities and standards-development organizations
The team tackles complex IP challenges across Amazon's entire broad portfolio of technologies and products.
