Remote intellectual property (IP) jobs focus on managing IP, which includes evaluating documents for trademark or copyright issues. In this role, you may submit an application for an IP license, safeguard pending ideas while you wait for patent approval, or help with litigation to claim or defend IP. Most remote intellectual property jobs fall under the legal profession, with attorneys and their assistants making up the bulk of the available positions. However, some companies also hire personnel who work exclusively with IP to discover potential infractions and refer them to the company's lawyers for possible prosecution.
