CTTEC manages the intellectual property assets of one of the leading research universities in the country. It receives over 250 new invention disclosures each year, and is looking for one or more law school interns/externs to assist in this effort by conducting patent searches for newly disclosed inventions.

The externship is unpaid, with academic credit available through the Law School. Interns will be paid on an hourly basis.
