Remote Intellectual Property Law Expert
About Turing: Based in San Francisco, California, Turing is the world’s leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems. Turing supports customers in two ways: first, by accelerating frontier research with high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, plus top AI researchers who specialize in coding, reasoning, STEM, multilinguality, multimodality, and agents; and second, by applying that expertise to help enterprises transform AI from proof of concept into proprietary intelligence with systems that perform reliably, deliver measurable impact, and drive lasting results on the P&L. Role Overview: Turing invites Intellectual Property law experts to join projects that fine-tune AI models like ChatGPT. You will apply your expertise in patent prosecution, trademark registration, copyright protection, and trade secret litigation to evaluate how AI reasons about IP-related legal questions. If you enjoy analyzing novelty, infringement claims, and licensing structures, this is your opportunity. No prior AI experience is required — your background in U.S. IP law is exactly what’s needed. What Does Day-to-Day Look Like:
- Review and evaluate AI-generated responses to U.S. intellectual property hypotheticals, including patent eligibility (Alice/Mayo), trademark likelihood of confusion, copyright fair use analysis, and trade secret misappropriation.
- Apply a structured legal rubric to assess issue spotting, accuracy of IP doctrines, and proper application of the Patent Act, Lanham Act, and Copyright Act.
- Identify gaps in AI reasoning around claim construction, prior art analysis, distinctiveness, and DMCA safe harbors.
- Provide detailed, high-quality annotations and written feedback to refine AI models.
- Collaborate with researchers and project managers to align evaluation standards and project goals.
Requirements:
- Juris Doctor (J.D.) from an accredited U.S. law school; Bar admission (active/inactive). Patent Bar registration is a plus.
- 3+ years of U.S. legal practice in intellectual property (patents, trademarks, copyrights, or trade secrets).
- Strong reasoning skills across IP prosecution, litigation, licensing, and enforcement.
- Excellent written communication and attention to detail.
- High ethical standards; interest in AI is a plus.
Perks of Freelancing with Turing:
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects with leading LLM companies.
- Competitive compensation.
- Flexible, fully remote work arrangement.
- Learn how to use AI to advance the legal field.
Offer Details:
- Commitment: Flexible, 10–30 hrs/week.
