Job Opening: Under Armour Seeks Associate Counsel, Intellectual Property
We previously featured a cool job opening for head of marketing of the Stephen Curry (SC) brand at Under Armour. This time, we have a more legal oriented job posting, with Under Armour seeking an associate counsel to handle intellectual property matters.
The position requires two-to-five years of experience in-house or at a law firm, focusing on intellectual property such as trademarks, copyrights, marketing and the ability to identify patent issues. You must be an active member of a state bar in good standing. U.S. Patent and Trademark Office patent attorney registration is a plus, but is not required.
Duties for the Baltimore, Maryland-based job include:
- Counsel supported business units on IP strategy, e.g., U.S. and international product screenings to determine availability of proposed trademarks, taglines, product names, product designs and other consumer facing content.
- Prepare, prosecute or manage significant volume of IP matters with US and foreign Intellectual Property offices
- Provide support on a broad range of IP matters, including domestic and international trademark clearance, design clearance, copyrights, enforcement, disputes, transactions and settlements.
- Conduct preliminary and online investigations into potential trademark infringements.
- Draft legal documents, including cease and desist letters, fame affidavits, and Notices of Opposition.
- Liaise with outside law firms, vendors and internal business partners as needed for pending IP matters.
